Personally after having one too many links go dark/404'd or change the content out from under me, I don't do bookmarks anymore. If the information is worth preserving, I quickly copy/paste the relevant text and media into a markdown note and pull it into Obsidian.
Text searchable and persistent is far better for static content, though I'll concede this doesn't apply bookmarking interactive material (news, etc.).
Around 50-70 refs/guides/tools/eshops pages and hundreds of links to whatever, mostly loras and potential datasets. I have zero “good read for later” bookmarks, cause that’s formula for garbage.
Tried to look for managers before but they are selling me features I won’t need irl.
My bookmarks are organized into folders on the bookmark bar, and my browser allows to click a folder (and any subfolders) and “add active page” to it without a dialog.
There’s also a star icon in urlbar that opens a dialog with a title and folder selection. It adds or edits a bookmark and remembers the last folder (“add active page” doesn’t disturb it).
A bookmark can be in two+ folders.
Bookmarks I visit frequently have proper names like “Node FS” or “CSS Flex”.
What I could really use:
- find duplicates
- some 2-panel tree+list editor that allows quicker sorting into specific folders
- bookmarks store a screenshot of a page’s current viewport at the moment of bookmarking
- “thumbnail view” of screenshots in a folder or preview by hovering over a list item
I don’t think I need autogrouping, cause dynamic lists are not good for muscle memory (I locate mans/refs instantly cause they are always there). And for non-memorized hundreds I group them by criteria which a software couldn’t pick without mind reading anyway.
I have 2 or 3 hundred. I bookmark some items that I may want to find later, and other items I post to a Tumblr that acts like a digital scrap book. I find i refer to the Tumblr more often, it's useful to refer back to things that have caught my eye and browse through my posting history.
It could be cool to have a bookmarking browser extension that can provide a similar 'digital scrapbook' function.
Probably about 100, but only about 10 I actually use. The other 90 I don’t even remember I have. I will never visit them again, or if I do, I’ll get there via a web search.
Technically thousands after discovering that Google lets you bookmark all tabs in a window. But practically about 200 spread over several folders on the bookmarks bar.
