Moving to the core functionalities, Linkwarden 2.9 allows you to capture articles directly from the browser extension and effortlessly upload them. Simply get the Linkwarden extension from the Chrome Web Store or Firefox Add-ons, and you are all set.

Another beneficial upgrade is that each link now clearly displays its available preserved formats. This enhancement lets you see at a glance how a link is being archived and allows you to choose the format you would like to open. As a result, accessing what you need becomes a seamless process.

Moreover, the new release has also introduced a brand-new Import from Omnivore feature. The migration is now straightforward if you have been using Omnivore and want to switch over or consolidate your bookmarks. Simply head to your Linkwarden settings to discover how you can import your links with minimal fuss.

In addition, Linkwarden’s public collections now offer an RSS feed link, allowing followers to subscribe and stay updated on newly added links. Conversely, Linkwarden also supports subscribing to external RSS feeds, so users can effortlessly fetch and save incoming items from anywhere.
