I don't know how people think Firefox has feature-rich bookmark manager, probably never used a browser that cares about power-users. Firefox can't even open Bookmark manager in a new tab, whole bookmark feature hasn't improved in 15 years.

Vivaldi has the best bookmark management in UX/UI.

> i want to be able to quickly load common favourite news sites & blogs.

Right click on a tab > Bookmark all tabs. Vivaldi creates a new folder "Saved Tabs ($time$)". Press F2 to open quick commands and write "Saved" and it will auto complete all the folder starts with "Saved"

You can create Session for currently opened tabs too.

In Firefox, bookmark manager in a tab: chrome://browser/content/places/places.xhtml

"You can encounter issues when you want to create a new folder, moving a bookmark to another folder may not work as well."

I second Vivaldi. The people I know who tried it never went back.

I have been using Vivaldi for years now, on mobile (Android). Gave up after their recent update. Why? Because they changed the layout of the "reload" button. Previously, I could simply double-tap the "V" menu to reload the current tab. Now I have to either pull down (which is not always feasible) or find the "refresh" button in the far left part of the "V" menu, because double-tapping now brings the settings screen. Not sure what genius in their UX dept thought that opening the settings screen is more important than re-loading the current tab but they should change it back.

Vivaldi's "reading list" feature is better than just a simple "bookmark".

You can read it offline and sync it from mobile browser to PC browser.

Hasn't improved in 15 years but at least you can still search within / by month. Can't do that in Brave.

You also forgot the Speed Dial. Allowing you to populate (what essentially becomes your) New Tab Page with the bookmarks of your choice. Greatly helps reduce the time taken after a browser restart to get going

For me this is a strength.
