They exist somewhere in the Opera cloud ether, and locally on my computer. Sync doesn't work, so it is a pretty crappy solution.

I thought briefly of writing some Pinboard.in extension, but I probably wouldn't be able to extend the built-in bookmarks system anyway.

Chrome sync doesn't work either. :/

I do prefer Opera to Chrome, because it manages bookmarks better, when I need to access them and search for something particular, though.

Same problem, I use chrome bookmarks mainly (due to the sync with my mobile and every other chrome I have) and Pocket. And sometimes also Kippt. I wonder if there is a service that syncs your Chrome bookmarks (one way, read only) to some nice web UI that allows better searching (e.g. search by folder name, not just bookmark title)

1. Export bookmarks to HTML

2. Bookmark the resulting HTML file or upload to someplace online.

3. Use browser find function.

I use Firefox Sync to keep my bookmarks and history synced between my personal and work laptops and my phone. I like that Sync keeps my bookmarks encrypted on the server, and I have no interest in a web UI; I just want my browser to have the same resources available no matter which system I use it on.

I do wish Sync supported different bookmarks toolbar folders for different systems, though. At the moment I just only display the toolbar on one system.

Kippt is really good for any type of bookmark. I made my site http://pineapple.io specifically for all my development bookmarks. Since then it's grown to be quite a nice awesome database. I moderate it really heavily for quality, so if you skim all 100 pages I guarantee you will find tons of hidden gems.

Thank you for Pineapple, it's such a wonderful resource, plus the design is really great. Did you design and develop it yourself?

Yessir! Did the entire thing myself :)

By the way... This may seem crazy but I knew I recognized your name. Someone registered with your same username 6 months ago. Heh. Sometimes my memory is awesome, and other days I can't remember what I did the day before.

I had a lot of bookmarks too. But how many times I used it? Once, twice a year? And I never got to really organize my bookmarks. It's always bothered me.

Now I rarely use bookmaks. I just keep a few that I visit daily.

So, everytime I need something I go to google. And I use pocket for things that I really wanna read later. If I don't read it in some time, I just delete the link.

It had worked fine for me. It's simple and focused.
