I also have folders for Work, Blogs and one for improving myself as a developer. I love browser bookmarks, but am not exactly a poweruser, but I would miss them very much if they were taken away.

Here's part of that script you're talking about: wget --recursive --level=5 --convert-links --page-requisites --wait=1 --random-wait --timestamping --no-parent $1 Combine with something to parse out the Chrome bookmarks (it's XML, IIRC), and it wouldn't take too long to nail down.
Chrome has the option to export all bookmarks to an html file, which I think can be given as an input to wget. Now if I understand that correctly, won't it recursively download every web page and all it's links 5 levels deep? Because that could be quite enormous if there are just a few web pages with lots of links...
I have a pinboard account but always end up just dragging links to the bookmarks toolbar.
I have a ton of bookmarks, but I use them passively. From my experience, Firefox is the undisputed king of making sure anything you type in the address bar will be instantly checked against your bookmark collection. For instance, maybe I'm looking for a PostgresSQL tutorial. I start typing "postgres" and one of the bookmarks I forgot about from several months back appears. This approach has ended up saving me a lot o…
I used to meticulously organize my Firefox bookmarks into different folders and subfolders. A couple of years ago, a friend of mine showed me the Tab groups features (since then deprecated, but lives on as an extension), and I don't think I have bookmarked a site since then. I disable loading until click, and the browser shows me the entire set of groups if I close it and reopen it.
But these days it worries me to say that I just visit the same three websites over and over. Aggregation websites with links and content.
Sometimes I find myself staring at the url bar not being able to think of anything to do because I've visited my three websites already.
Of course besides those three aggregators there are sites like google and stackexchange that I visit indirectly. And any blogs, forum and such that I might find through google.

> Webcomics often have terrible search indexes Side note, OhNoRobot [0] has full transcript search of 2000+ webcomics. [0] http://ohnorobot.com/
Would have bookmarked your link :) except that it doesn't seem to index xkcd comics. I tried "xkcd duty call" and it gave no results [0] while Google lists the comic as the first result for the same keywords. [0] http://ohnorobot.com/index.php?s=xkcd+duty+call&Search=Searc...
Structurally my bookmarks are an ever growing list, they all go into the bookmarks menu in firefox. I occasionally tag them too. Most bookmarks are part of my "online library", I keep them so that if I ever want to send a link to sth. I liked to someone, use them in an article, or maybe read again. I have a separate read-it-later list in an Org-mode file.
Some of the bookmarks are shortcuts, mostly to different dictionaries in WordReference, to Collins english dictionary, and various websites I browse often, like Reddit, HN, my school's, and my own website that I check every-so-often when I upload sth. new.
