Over the years, I've had to make a concerted effort to bookmark less things. I've made small progress at that here and there. I admittedly still bookmark too much-- but it's better now, there's better organization. But today I couldn't find a link I bookmarked, and it pissed me off, so I spent a couple hours doing a nuclear-grade cleanout and organization of my Firefox bookmarks (Mastodon ones are up next, eventually).
All of this was also with a goal to gather all the #SmallWeb and #IndieWeb stuff together that I want to write about. And I did make some major progress on that front.
But one weird thing I noticed before, and what made the nuclear-grade cleanup of bookmarks today initially so overwhelming and now, so necessary, was this weird shit that Firefox does.
When I've had to import bookmarks or do profile changes and switches, things get doubled, tripled, quadrupled-- and also between Favorites, the Menu ones, the Toolbar ones, and there's not a lot that can be done about that, at least that I've found. And in my opinion, it's all just a bunch of bs, and a bad system, and something that's only customizable up to a point.
So I deleted a lot, consolidated a lot, but all of that took MASSIVE time today-- I just think it's weird that all that stuff isn't just SLIGHTLY more customizable.
