How do you manage your browser bookmarks?

I switched to Shaarli this past year. Installation was a piece of cake, I threw it in a subfolder on my personal Wordpress site.

There is a Chrome extension to add bookmarks, and also a cli tool. I use a Shortcut on my iPhone that uses the cli tool to add bookmarks from my phone.

Shaarli uses tags for organization, so it's really easy to organize links as I add them. So far I have 599 links saved since July 15.

There are two other features I like. One, is that bookmarks can be made public, so you can easily share them with others, and two, RSS feeds can be generated from searches, or tags.

I was also using shaarli for the better part of a year. I've never found a good solution since del.icio.us fell away back in the day. Someone brought back the idea that was original del.icio.us it's now known as Pinboard. Highly recommended. If that's not your deal the bookmarking abilities of Notion are pretty profound, reminds me of old school Evernote before feature-creep almost killed the company. Good luck in your search!

Edit: just saw your responses about notion and that makes me suggest to you Pinboard even more.

They've chosen a very original target market - "social bookmarks for introverts") But anyway, it looks interesting and distraction-free. I'll play with this service, thanks a lot 👍

I did a Pinboard with a11y dev articles and best practice, I'm sure the target market of pinterest, will never use my board but I made it for me first, to have a place to find the articles in one go insted of the bookmarks that I also have (with the same links); then if someone want to use it is ok for me, I agreed that normaly noone will go and search pinterest for a11y articles or links, however my intend it was to find other solution for bookmarks. And it work for my personal preferences.

I keep my mind and ears open for more sutible solution if anyone has it let me know. 🤓

Hi @EliodRän!

Charles here. Have you found a good bookmark app to solve your problems? If not I am working on a new bookmark app that will combine notes and bookmarks and I would like to have a quick chat with you about what problems you are facing with existing apps and possibly become a early adopter for my app.

If you are interested DM me here on Dev.to or send me an email charles@charlesthecoder.dev :)
Thanks.

You're welcome to try my Chrome extension called Camellia, I have created it to solve a problem with 100+ bookmarks visualization hell. It uses native Chrome bookmarks, so they will sync across all your Chrome installations.

At this moment it's only for Chrome, but I'm planning radical refactoring with full Firefox support and a lot of other improvements (including design).

I'd recommend Pocket (getpocket.com/). It's now owned by Mozilla and allows you to save pages as you would bookmarks, but with added features. Pages can be stored for offline reading, you add multiple tags to pages (more powerful than using a folder structure), and there are browser extensions across all the main browsers, plus good Android and iOS apps. And it's all free!

I made my own Chrome Extension to easily store on the go, then retrieve using full text search of the TITLE meta.... This way, I don't need a structured folder organization, I can rely solely on keywords, which, of course, I must think about when storing the bookmark.

It has worked very well for me : chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/...

The bulk of my bookmarks are in Pinboard with appropriate tags. Frequent bookmarks and stuff I want easy reference to in the bookmark toolbar, and a few other folders and stuff that have kind of grown organically.

There's an extension for Chrome that I use occasionally to sync (one-way) to a folder in the browser's bookmarks. Allocated into sub-folders by tag. (I really wish there was something similar for Firefox!!!)

I use xBrowserSync to keep bookmarks synchronised between my Firefox and Chrome browsers. (I really miss Xmarks.)

I just keep adding them and once a year I make a folder called older{next_available_int}, and those folder are forgotten forever. "If you like a website, set them free. If it come back cool; if they don't, must be happier in the browser of someone else, it wasn't meant to be."

It's pretty much a luck based system. Somehow gives me comfort to know they are not lost in the web, just lost between thousands of other bookmarks.

Great topic for discussion, I made an account just to comment and follow. Please share when you adapt a new system.
I find myself in certain situations where I need to organize bookmarks, and also take notes, or save collaboration or meeting info for best access at a later time. If you are working with a team how do you keep project meeting notes, and action items sorted? What tools do you use for that?

Keeping focused on your situation:
What is your way of keeping your bookmarks in order? I use folders based on topic and date, this has pros and cons. For example, I'm taking a course and searching for a specific solution, I create a new folder for today's date under the folder for JavaScript course.
Pros: This makes it easy to review notes and searches when going over the course or sharing with someone else. This also works when doing research for a project or article. Cons: Can be hard to find if I forget what day or what course and I need a certain tool or answer again.

What tools do you use? I've just recently switched to using LastPass for managing my logins. There is a free and paid version. The enterprise version is what we use at work. Allows for sharing folders of sites, passwords with the team. Install the app, and use the browser extension and all synced up. I login to chrome to save and sync bookmarks, works with Android phone pretty smooth.
For taking notes I've tried so many tools going to test some shared in comments. Also going to try MS Notes again, recently heard it will OCR text from images of whiteboard.

How do you structure the whole system? I use LastPass for all sites needing login, can easily go to folders and open the page in the extension or app. This saves me from needing a folder for that in my bookmarks. I have a topical main folder in the bookmarks bar, only one sub folder based on date or more detail. Recycle those quarterly, export to a file, then delete what I no longer use. So far I've been fine with just using the import bookmarks feature on any other browser after that update. I use chrome for most things, Firefox occasionally. For testing brave or opera.

What is your approach to fast access and synchronization? May have already answered this, I think the point of failure or when my system gets slow is when I don't plan my project or search, or the folder topic isn't clear. Also it takes time to review and recycle then import to another browser.

Collapse
 
fyodorio profile image
Fyodor

Wow, thanks for the comprehensive comment!

I'll definitely share the results of testing of the most suitable solutions mentioned here in about a month :)

I use macOS' Notes for storing and structuring project notes. It's the fastest solution and has all the necessary features today.

Your way of storing bookmarks gave me the idea of practicing something like "expiration date" for a bookmark - if it's not "resolved" in some time, it can be deleted... It would be useful for some kind of bookmarks. And would help to keep a kind of automated order in the system. I'm interested if there's such feature in some of the tools listed inside this discussion...

Fast access and synchronization are my main concerns here too. Because default browser solutions don't provide for it (except for Firefox in some way - tags at least). Possibly some kind of close-to-native-browser solution (something on top of internal bookmarks) will be the most effective one. I'll test the options and try to find the answer.

You may want to try these three:
PearlTrees pearltrees.com
TagPacker tagpacker.com/
Tabbles tabbles.net/

In addition here are a couple of resources reviewing different Bookmarking apps:
lifewire.com/best-bookmarking-tool...
slant.co/topics/164/~best-ways-to-...

The Slant site is particularly helpful since for every app it lists extensive Pros and Cons as well as direct app-to-app comparisons as well as multiple competitors for every app (not just Bookmarking sites)

Personally I'm looking for something more global to organize and index both external data sources (bookmarks) as well as internal data sources (local files) all in one repository.

Something like TagFS but it would include bookmarks:
web.mit.edu/6.033/2011/wwwdocs/wri...

And if you want a real deep-dive:
ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.js...

ps - that's a great tag line: "Single source of truth lowers cognitive load" - I'm going to have to borrow that!

Have you looked at Bublup? Very intuitive and clean interface. Options for creating folders and sub folders. You can 'roll up' a folders contents and share it as a web page (the other person does not need to have Bublup installed to view.) There is a Chrome add-on which allows you to one-click save pages. It's pretty feature rich. I'm just getting started with it. Good luck, and let us know what you finally settle with!

That isn't actually true. At work I have items like pto, time sheets, and vpns where bookmarks make sense.

I do add stars with no organization because it adds importance to the awesome bar.

You have a great memory, congratulations!) I don't remember particular details on a service/site I search for sometimes, so I don't trust myself in such cases. Also, I don't like to store too much history in the browser (mostly because I use different browsers for different purposes). So it would be so cool to have some "box" accessible at any browser and to which you can trust storing of the addresses of places you gonna come back to sometimes.

I have a lots of bookmarks, literally a lot, in my browser (currently chromium). I have been managing (of course not well managed) since 2010 (or maybe earlier than that). Back then I used to use firefox as a default browser and then switched to chrome, safari, opera, and whatnot. And now I am using Chromium. I tried many plugins and extensions, but none of them worked as expected :D Hence currently I am using chromium/chrome's native bookmark manager synced with my account along with multiple devices (laptops and mobile phones) and I am okay with this.

Hey @fyodor!

Ah bookmarks what a time suck.

TLDR;

  • Store frequent bookmarks in folders in bookmark bar

  • Use a SORT folder in bookmarks bar, take a few bookmarks each day and filter in to cats in raindrop then visit and save link in to todolist and add to my articles to read and add to X day

  • If a bookmark is worth keeping leave it in raindrop in a cat folder and tag it, if not bin it.

  • Any link worth using to make examples from I can build the code and put on github or codepen with the article link in comments.

  • Seems clunky but it's working for me at this present time. Just wish chrome bookmarks was more capable e.g. Raindrop checks for duplicates, broken links and allows for much more powerful management of links I just don't like hoarding links now, it's a time suck so if something I see is worth a read later I use this process, if it is a regular visit I keep in my bookmarks.

I also use onetab to store my current tabs if I need to leave my session suddenly so my current tabs are there for the next session.

I used Workona for this function but it ate my 32gb of memory and I could not have that!


I've tried mostly all of the below solutions and I kinda got stuck in this process of late.

Regular bookmarks for work and tools I use alot are stored in my chrome bookmarks bar in folders.

Then for other ones like in process of reading later I have a sort folder in chrome book marks bar which I then categorise in raindrop and then add a couple of these in to my todolist daily tasks so I read them and eliminate them. If it's worth keeping it stays in raindrop and is categorised and tagged or otherwise it's read, I thank it and I say goodbye.

It's a system that is working for me.

I used to have over 15000 bookmarks but decided to bin them all and start over because if something is meant to be it will come back to me!

So for each # of bookmarks I read through in my to-do for the day I will add same number.

I have a backlog but this works for me.

I am considering pocket again for the commutes but I hate how flat it is.

Ived tried Toby, qlerly, Workona and loads others, there was one that would allow you 24 hours to use the bookmarks and then it would delete them if unread, I think it was more a to-do list than a bookmark manager. I've used loads of others but my current system of chrome, raindrop and todolist is working.

I tried notion and Evernote before but too clunky.

Thanks for taking the time to write that, your approach has a solid ground as I can see 👍
I like your way of incorporating the bookmarking process into a todo-management flow, that's something I want to do in some way too. And also add notes there too. Though my experience shows that Evernote and Notion (especially Notion, can't see why people love it) don't work for that too (in my personal opinion).
I haven't found a solution yet, though I believe this thread will help me to do that.

I think the real solution is for all the content to be searchable (bookmarks, notes, other reference material, etc). Anytime my categories/folder structure gets too ambitious/detailed, I wind up neglecting it and falling back on search.

Purely for keeping bookmarks of web pages, my ideal solution would be the regular browser bookmarking tool, but with an option to search through the bookmarked page's content as well.

I think a big issue with categorizing any content is the time it takes to put the system in place...and then follow/remember/take the time to implement the rules. Most of the time you want to just bookmark something and move on....or do you?;)

On the flip side, probably everyone has their most frequently used bookmarks on the browser toolbar and then some "reference" bookmarks organized in folders or with tags. (that's what I have). Great post!
