Ask Lemmy

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.

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?

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.

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.

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 don't have many. I mostly abuse the tab bar instead. Naughty, I know.

Like 5.

If they don’t all fit on the bookmark toolbar, there’s too many, and someone’s getting purged.

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.

40-50. The recipes are the only ones I check regularly. The others are just references.

Apparently 4614. Several hundred are probably duplicates tho. I'll bookmark interesting pages that I see at work (since I usually don't have time to read them) and occasionally import them. Like others have said, that's built up over many years. And in general I've tried to be more of a 'bookmark it and close the tab already' kind of person lately.

It's all various levels of hoarding and to-dos I know I'll never get to, but pretty often I do find myself enjoying browsing through my bookmarks and remembering neat stuff I saw in passing or articles I wanted to read. It's also fun sorting them out to folders, even tho I know they'll never be properly organized nor especially useful if they were.

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'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.

In my desktop browser I have about sixty between my quick dial, and the menu bar.

I visit about 10 of them every day, and I visit most of them at some point during the week. I have folders on the menu bar for long-term storage, but individual bookmarks on the menu bar are short-term, ones I'll want for a few days or weeks but know I'll get rid of when they've served their purpose. But, now that I look at it, some of the individual...

You know what? It all makes sense to me, I know where everything is, and I'm happy.

529 in one browers, 51 in the other. I use half of them throughout the year.

What's a bookmark here? Like the browser favorites?

I have few dozens .... pretty much never. Many of them are probably broken by now.

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.

10 or so I use daily. 20 or so others I reference occasionally.

About 100 use each at least ounce a month even if only to check the site. Use them to keep track of many sites and interests.

A couple hundred, and I use them. A few comics I share whenever they're relevant, some of the maintenance pages for my personal site, arrival times for my nearest bus stops, minecraft server maps, and the rest fall into three broad categories:

• culinary recipes I've made in the past

• game wiki pages and gameFAQs guides

• shopping lists / gift ideas

These are all organized into folders and subfolders. Well, not all. But mostly.

About 50 and i use none of them, what the hell are you doing with 1.9k bookmarks my guy?

Probably less than 20 or so. I don't like clutter, so only my frequented sites and resources that aren't in the launcher are bookmarked. I also often delete them if they've been unused for a while.

@FarraigePlaisteach Around 120, I use most of them at least once a year. There are a few (mostly obituaries) that I rarely go to, but like having around.

I have like 25-30, but I never look at them. ADHD gets me every time lol

I have exactly 9 and I use 8 of them daily. The 9th is a bread recipe.

I have about 20 sites bookmarked with just their favicon that are sort of "first order access", though I use some of them more regularly than others. At random intervals, one will catch my eye and I'll think "I haven't used that in a while, I don't think I need that up there anymore" and I'll remove it, usually while I'm at it I'll remove others too. I have about a dozen folders too, these are more long-term storage, e.g. I have one for all my financial institutions (not to brag but I have several student loan servicers 😣), one for network security tools, one for rare media finding tools, etc. These are used less often and they usually get put there after I've had to go look them up several times. I tend to keep it well pruned though, I think I have maybe 200 distinct sites bookmarked.
