#2I do, but I've always find it pretty hard to use them, because I forgot what exactly I bookmarked and in what folder.

#3I do, but I have them export and upload to my server daily so I can keep them in sync. I don't organize them, I just use search and find. They're all relevant links I wish to look at or read at a later date.

#4I do, but I consciously keep only a small number of them (ideally not much more than 100) and regularly purge.

#7I use the bookmark toolbar in Firefox, but I delete the text and leave the favicons so that I can fit ~50 bookmarks in one row. I also have folders containing bookmarks for particular categories, like "Work", "Stuff to watch", etc.

#9I still do, but I find Google Chrome bookmarking system to be a bit too simplistic.
I mean, Google is usually strong on that from with labels in Gmail, Keep but for some reason they never implemented that in their bookmarks. It would makes more sense than using folders IMO.

#10Yes, but in single folder (maintaining tree structure is pain) and rarely access it. Del.icio.us was very convenient, seems that it still exists but seems that they deleted all old data and may close again soon.
