Author's note:

If you use this bookmark-importing tool,

"Old bookmarks will not be _overridden_."

My first thought was that this should be ",,, overwritten." But then, I
thought. "Well, if a bookmark is looked at as a kind of command to the
computer, then, perhaps, 'override' is the verb to use."
