I do, but I consciously keep only a small number of them (ideally not much more than 100) and regularly purge.
When do you make time to purge? I find that I procrastinate tasks like reviewing. How often do you do it? Daily? How much time do you set aside?
I 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.
My only other use is for groups of pages that I'm referring to or want to come back to as part of a project. I usually delete them after a few weeks.
For long term bookmarks I use pinboard.in
Very handy, and it also protects somewhat against linkrot.
I've tied it to a hotkey to copy any bit that is highlighted to the currently open scrapbook. (shift-ctrl-b) without further notifications or interaction other than the keystroke. Super quick and it doesn't get in the way of continued reading.
For personal machines, I've got about 5 machine+OS combinations, with 2-3 browsers on each that I use for various things. I chose not to set up sync accounts in any of the browsers (I've already got too many damn accounts to manage, thank you!). So I sometimes save a bookmark if I'm in the middle of a long series of pages about something, as a sometimes-completely-literal "bookmark".
Yes, I use them. I prefer them to any online service because they are completely under my own control. I do wish that I could securely sync them, but ever since Firefox completely broke the security of their Sync system, there's nothing I can rely on to safely sync for me. It's not a huge deal
Do you mean if a site stores cryptographic information in the url? Or is it the act of syncing with your local machine that introduces surfaces of attack on your local system?
If I come across articles I like I save them to instapaper instead of bookmark.
For work...I've pretty much created my own wiki of bookmarks using OneNote. Employer uses SharePoint and some pages won't display or work correctly in Chrome, so I use IE for work intranet. So instead of bookmarks I have a notebook and put tags in the notebook for easy searching and I can put a good description of the site.
