I name them properly and put in order when necessary. Makes them searchable in urlbox. Periodic sort and purge. Important/frequent goes into folders on the left, less important to the right. If I feel lazy, it always goes to “Sort” to not contaminate sorted folders.

#12I just give them clear names when I add them (sometimes including a keyword or two), and use the url bar to search them ('*' narrows results to bookmarks in Firefox. I presume there's something similar in Safari, Chrome, etc.)

#14if you have a fairly long history of links (like me, since 2012) that migrate from browser to browser, from one OS to another, get used to cleaning old links that you haven't used for more than a year, and believe me - you'll have less than a hundred links left ))) I'm not lying to you. when I found this habit useful - I realized that many things that happened before no longer interested me, sometimes links from online auctions or some one-time services are stored, which you won't visit again later, these are links just in case. but an opportunity never comes, and garbage accumulates. that's why I just recommend you start from the beginning and spend some time and delete the unnecessary, you'll be surprised at the result.

#15I use Pinboard for managing bookmarks. The tag system is very nice! Raindrop is another tool in that space, but I haven’t tried it. https://pinboard.in/ https://raindrop.io/
Didn't pinboard fall off a while ago?

The site is up and running. But it’s hard to get in touch with the founder.
