Even if I never open it again I save it to prevent that thing where you remember a site but can't find it again via search. It comes in clutch

Who needs bookmarks when you've got tabs?

What? You don't just have them all left open as tabs?

My bookmarks got to be too many and basically the whole system became unusable. Now I just leave the tab open so I can "come back to it later"™.

I'm started to get to a point where I have too many tabs open and I can't find what I want... I might have to find the next level to migrate to soon.

My bookmarks are heavily organized with foldering and structure, named concisely for what they are, and typically only allowed to be frequent visit type of sites. If they're stale and old, they get removed.

This cartoon makes me think of those people with desktops full of documents and links. Makes me anxious when I see that.

Zero. I leave it as an exercise to the reader to guess why.

When you go through them later and they appear broken; what do you do? Delete them? Keep them anyways?

This is what I used Pocket for. And when it shut down, I didn't even export my data...

Bookmarks bar get actually used (mostly). General bookmarks? Yeah those are never seen again.

That URL should be glad I didn't send it to OneTab

293. Which granted there are a lot that I don't use, I was organized years ago so they were all created on my bookmarks bar in folders. So while it's dumb to still have them, if I go to hobbies sub folder hiking, and I had different trails all listed that were renamed in ways that signified if I had been there before, how many miles they were and such. Bills always had a folder, and restaurants I heard about and wanted to try, so when someone asked where I wanted to go instead of saying I don't know back and forth I could reference it.

Just dumb stuff but I never saw reason to delete them

I discovered linkwarden, it lets me dump links I find more organized. It's pretty cool and easily selfhostable (this sounds like an ad)

If I bookmark something that I actually want to use, then it has to go on the bookmark bar. If it goes into the folder, it will rot until the end of time.

...Mine are spread across four browsers.

And... backups from old browsers.

Is this a neurodivergence meme? It feels like a neurodivergence meme.

I only have bookmarks to things I actually frequently open.

I am being called out here.

Problem is that I bookmark a site, forget I found a site, go search for a similar thing 6 months later, boomarking the same site (because the url changed slightly from the last visit) or bookmarking a similar one. Repeat.

I recently reinstalled a clean OS, and forgot to back up my bookmarks despite backing up everything else.

Then I tried to remember what I bookmarked, and I just can't for the life of me recall a single site in that folder.

1 atmosphere.

people just be calling me out man...

Over 300. I can't actually count or sort through them.

Thankfully, I have them tagged, though they're all in the "Other Bookmarks" folder.

25 atm

1.9k

....338

There's no way I'm going and counting

Some of them are already 404

A lot (~100?) but my bookmarks are semi-oganized. I just went through and did some cleaning the other day.

This was my pocket account. Got much more intentional when I started running wallabag

19,497

That's after removing a whole lot that was older than 10 years.

I don't use bookmark bar for that but rather the folders

5 right now

Þere's a tool called buku which I use exclusively now. It auto-indexes sites, alþough tagging is iffy. Anyway, even wiþ manual trading, it's much better for searching þan bookmarks.

Hierarchical organization was never a good structure for bookmarks. Tagging is far better.
