BetterPortal — Bookmark Manager for Azure Portal

Azure portal too slow? Losing your context and train of thought between page loads? Try this extension!

BetterPortal is a fast, keyboard-driven bookmark and history overlay for Azure Portal — so your most-used resources are always one shortcut away.

Press Ctrl+Space (cmd+Space on mac) anywhere in the Azure Portal to instantly open your bookmarks and recent history, grouped by directory.

🔖 Bookmark Azure resources instantly
Permanently bookmark any resource page and blade— VMs, App Services, Storage Accounts, Key Vaults, databases — with a single keypress. Add custom aliases so resources are easy to recognize at a glance.

📜 Automatic history tracking
Every Azure resource you visit is remembered automatically. Jump back to anything you've opened recently without hunting through the portal's own navigation.

🏢 Multi-tenant & cross-directory navigation
Work across multiple Azure Active Directory tenants? BetterPortal groups resources by directory and handles cross-tenant navigation correctly — injecting the right tenant GUID so you always land in the right directory.

🔍 Instant search
Filter across all bookmarks and history by name, resource type, or subscription — instantly, across all your tenants.

📋 One-click copy
Hover any resource to copy its full navigation URL (ready to paste into a ticket or doc), or copy a directory's tenant GUID directly from the group header.

🎹 Keyboard-first workflow
Navigate entirely without a mouse:
- Ctrl+Space — open/close overlay
- ↑ ↓ or j k — navigate items
- Enter — open resource
- / — search
- a — bookmark current page
- d — delete
- e — rename bookmark
- ? — settings



Who is this for?
BetterPortal is built for Azure engineers, cloud architects, DevOps and platform teams, and anyone who spends significant time navigating Azure Portal resources across multiple subscriptions and directories.



🔒 Privacy
All data stays in your browser. BetterPortal does not transmit any information to external servers. Bookmarks and history are stored locally using Chrome's built-in extension storage. No account required. (Do remember to back these up if transferring devices!)



New in V1.0.97:
- Bookmark and Directory DisplayName renaming (hotkey: e)
- Current directory appears at the top of the list
- Copy links for URL and directory GUID
- Cascading tenantID fixes and retroactive fill of tenantID
