[POLL] Bookmarks in your browser?

I used to have them all highly organised and curated, but that was back in 1998-2002. Now, I have none; Google is my bookmark manager.

k,

@popey I like a pinned tab and the Tab Session Manager plugin, for Firefox.

@k Yeah, I have 20 pinned tabs, and rely on the browser to remember everything else in the infinite history. :D

I do have senior moments now and then though. Staring out the window trying to remember a site

k,

@popey I've had a couple of Firefox resets that have wiped out my pins, and that's never a good start to the day :(

@popey I only use them at work really, other than that I have about 4-5 bookmarks I actually use outside of work.

I mostly rely on my little ability to remember some keywords to put into my preferred search motor at that time

@popey I have a ton of bookmarks, but they're all outdated and disorganized. I've been importing them from browser to browser for years. Newer browsers will sync across the cloud, and they all have their default bookmarks they include, so I've got multiple copies of those now. So many bookmarks, but I don't use them anymore. It's either open in a tab (which I have more than my fair share of open) or I find it via a search engine when I need it.

dugite_code,

@popey Synced to Nextcloud's bookmarks using floccus. I organize them all there instead.

@dugite_code I would love to do that, but I don't trust myself to run a secure NextCloud instance :S

@popey Pinned tabs and tab groups have replaced bookmarks for me.

Sometimes I'll click the star in the Firefox URL bar to help the autocomplete suggest the right url of something obscure later, but I rarely go to the bookmark menu.

@popey A mix of option 2 and 3. Firefox account syncing is the reason I stay on FF because Chrome syncs them out of order for me if I try to organize them.

@popey all my important sites are plumbed into my streamdeck, everything else is in bitwarden

@popey I have bookmarks to easily get them as suggestions when typing in a search or keyword in the address bar, I never browse the bookmarks directly

@popey Eight permanent bookmarks in Firefox's bookmark toolbar, then a few dozen in "Other Bookmarks". A lot of those tend to be flights of fancy I think I might return to later that I then ignore and eventually prune.

@popey I use them for sites I visit often (mostly in the bookmarks bar) rather than things to remember to look at later (for that I use a simple web app that lets me tag instead of using folders). More like a 'most read' shelf than bookmarks.

@popey I my in . That goes very quickly, and searching them by using the * in the URL bar goes very quickly. So, in one way disorganized, in another way very usable organized.
