Since Trove is built upon the BlockStack platform, you need a Blockstack ID to use this decentralized bookmark manager. If you already have a Blockstack ID, you can use that to sign up to Trove, otherwise, you can create a new Blockstack ID here.
Once you sign in to Trove, it takes you to the main screen where it lists all your saved bookmarks. The interface has a navigation panel on the left and lists the items of the selected menu on the screen. From the navigation panel, you can create new collections and tags for bookmark organization.
At the top right corner, there is a button to add a new bookmark to Trove. You can only add one bookmark at a time; it doesn’t have any option for import or bulk operation. Adding a bookmark is simple, all you have to do is click the “Add Bookmark +” button and paste the URL there. You can also select a category and add tags.
Now, at the bottom of the navigation panel, there is a link to Firefox add-on store from where you can get the Trove extension for Firefox.
