I reckon I’ve just ticked over 10,000 days of web browsing. And I’ve never once used a bookmark. Not even once. Maybe I’m the second class citizen?
Hopefully you're doing ctrl+L. Just as long as you're not clicking in the url bar, selecting and deselecting it multiple times before you press END and then mash the BACKSPACE and then start typing h t t p : / / ...
I want tags, and better search and classification, and previews, and so much more.
Raindrop does all of that and works very well
The best way I've found is to use the MarkDownload[1] extension for firefox, and download a markdown version of the page into my notable[2] folder. That way, a markdown version of the page I'm interested in becomes part of my notes, becomes taggable, searchable, gets synced, etc. And I don't need to spend time properly categorizing it. All the bookmarked sites and their content become fuzzy-searchable (fzf). Very convenient.

I'm recently using Raindrop.io precisely because bookmarking is terrible in browsers. I want tags, and better search and classification, and previews, and so much more. Raindrop does all of that and works very well

>so there is no way to automatically backup the bookmarks in this nice format Firefox automatically backs up current bookmarks in lz4-compressed json under $profiledir/bookmarkbackups ($profiledir by default being like ~/.mozilla/firefox/xxxx.default). Can also autoexport to an HTML file by setting the following about:config prefs: browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML => (boolean) true browser.bookmarks.file => (string)…
I had to set "browser.bookmarks.file" to "bookmarks.html". When omitting it, no file seems to be written.
You're almost right! You're not alone. I am with you. To add to your little annoyances, I'd add one as well – categorizing the bookmarks. Even if I end up bookmarking a site, I find it hard to organize it nicely in a place that I can go to later on. I'd love to put some hashtags on bookmarks to search for later. Just me?

I don't know how people think Firefox has feature-rich bookmark manager, probably never used a browser that cares about power-users. Firefox can't even open Bookmark manager in a new tab, whole bookmark feature hasn't improved in 15 years. Vivaldi has the best bookmark management in UX/UI. > i want to be able to quickly load common favourite news sites & blogs. Right click on a tab > Bookmark all tabs. Vivaldi create…
I second Vivaldi. The people I know who tried it never went back.
