Chances are you have more than 50 bookmarks. Mainstream users have a hard time finding what they saved on their bookmarks. Except for being synced on the cloud. We are still confined to the same bookmark experience we had 20 years ago.

I've got several hundred bookmarks, but they're certainly better sorted than the apps on my phone. I've got them in subfolders by type, and as another poster noted the address bar autofills from the bookmarks so it takes me no time at all to find any of my bookmarked pages.

In contrast I can only sort the apps on my phone on to one of several pages, and to find one I have to flick through them looking for a particular icon. I don't even get customized text descriptions, let alone subfolders, customized icons...

Most modern browsers will autofill URLs from your bookmarks now. You don't have to navigate a bunch of menus anymore.

I primarily save bookmarks so that they come up at the top of my autofill list. Most of them are a couple of keystrokes away.
