I exported mine and searched for "http". I got 1,882. Crazy. I only use about 20 regularly.

My old shower thought was: Now that Google sucks, people will go back to saving bookmarks.

I used to bookmark, then I figured I could just Google and find everything again easily so what's the point, but it might be time for bookmarks again.

    I think there's definitely something to this. Kinda like a cache, it's nice to have some pages that you know are interesting or useful in someway that you can find that little bit easier.

    But the in-browser search for bookmarks is pretty limited. It just checks the title and url and maybe some tags. I know (or think?) there are some programs out there that index and/or archive your bookmarks and let you do full text search through them like a proper search engine.

    There are alternatives to Google, too. But I think anymore, once per year I’ll export my bookmarks to a local web page and wipe the slate clean in the browser.
