Open Bookmarks

Depending on the selected source, double-clicking on a bookmark opens the URL in the corresponding browser window. This means that Chrome bookmarks will automatically open in Chrome, Edge bookmarks will automatically open in Edge, etc.
Why bookmarks cannot be deleted directly in AM-DeadLink
Browser bookmarks should only be removed within the browser interface, not by external tools. Modifying bookmark databases outside the browser causes conflicts with multiple functions and also leads to side effects when syncing bookmarks between devices.
