I exported mine and searched for “http”. I got 1,882. Crazy. I only use about 20 regularly.
Why would I want to dig through folders of bookmarks when I can type 3 characters in the url and have my browser suggest the right page for me?
My answer: some bookmarks represent a significant time investment, for example, finding a specific spare part (3rd-party) for an appliance at home. I’ll bookmark that because I don’t want to do all that searching and comparing again.
Across all platforms and browser instances, I have about 40 to 50 in total (I don’t feel like actually counting them) and I think I use more than half of them every day. The rest are things I either use occasionally or that I want to use eventually but currently don’t or can’t.
I almost given up the habit of bookmarking. I just remember some parts of the URL or the tab name and my history pulls it up for me.
Like 5.
If they don’t all fit on the bookmark toolbar, there’s too many, and someone’s getting purged.
