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.

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.

You can extrapolate this to now that all search engines suck.

Kagi.com is alright.

Because you have to pay for it (or create new email addresses to get a trial period)

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.
