I exported mine and searched for “http”. I got 1,882. Crazy. I only use about 20 regularly.
I don’t have many. I mostly abuse the tab bar instead. Naughty, I know.
Those tabs haunt me like disapproving ancestors.
Mood.
I almost given up the habit of bookmarking. I just remember some parts of the URL or the tab name and my history pulls it up for me.
Like 5.
If they don’t all fit on the bookmark toolbar, there’s too many, and someone’s getting purged.
Lethal. I’m jealous!
Stalin sort
Why would I want to dig through folders of bookmarks when I can type 3 characters in the url and have my browser suggest the right page for me?
My answer: some bookmarks represent a significant time investment, for example, finding a specific spare part (3rd-party) for an appliance at home. I’ll bookmark that because I don’t want to do all that searching and comparing again.
I have 440+ but they are leftover from when i actually used them, I haven’t used the bookmark feature in at least 12-15 years now.
I have a feeling most of them are from an old addon that I had, because I think it abused the bookmark feature in order to keep browser sessions.
Some of the old ones have been interesting to rediscover.
529 in one browers, 51 in the other. I use half of them throughout the year.
Across all platforms and browser instances, I have about 40 to 50 in total (I don’t feel like actually counting them) and I think I use more than half of them every day. The rest are things I either use occasionally or that I want to use eventually but currently don’t or can’t.
I’ve got a lot of YT bookmarks in my browser (I have no YT account, so I track my favourite channels this way), and maybe 20-30 other links in total.
I do that too, for the same reason.
Looks like roughly a dozen or two (from a quick check) as far as actual bookmarks go. I use most of them, though there’s a few I should probably prune at this point. I have a lot of tabs in tab groups instead though (500-ish?). That works better for me with frequent screen sharing for work calls (keeping URL bar suggestions restricted to bookmarks only), and matches my way of thinking about projects I’m working on better as well.
I also save pages with SingleFile that I want to preserve for future reference instead of bookmarking – no point hoping they’ll continue to be online and accessible when I can just keep my own copy locally… Looks like I’ve archived roughly 200 or so pages in the last year like that.
Somehow I find it extremely funny to read the low number of bookmarks followed by the huge number of tabs.
Seriously though, I get that when you find something that matches the way my brain works then that’s what I’ll stick with too.
Thanks for putting me on to SingleFile. I use Wallabag locally but I’m not sure if I’ll stick with it.
I have few dozens … pretty much never. Many of them are probably broken by now.
10 or so I use daily. 20 or so others I reference occasionally.
I have exactly 9 and I use 8 of them daily. The 9th is a bread recipe.
At work I have what I need and trim what I don’t use. It’s organized and in a good enough state to share with new employees.
At home I don’t remember what half the bookmarks are for, and the other half are for long-abandoned projects. No idea how many there are
I can relate to the barely recognisable bookmarks! Having a distinct work machine sounds good. Part of my problem is that I have one machine for work and personal use.
I have close to 100. They’re like books on a shelf. If I read a good book I put it on the shelf even though I’m not likely to ever read it again.
That’s interesting. A lot of mine probably fall into that category. I’m exporting them to a HTML file that I can browse like a website.
40-50. The recipes are the only ones I check regularly. The others are just references.
That’s a nice number. And if that includes recipes then even better!
