How are your bookmark folders looking these days? 🤔
A) Neatly sorted into folders like a digital librarian
B) 396 links dumped into a folder called “Mess”
C) A glorious disaster that still gets the job done

A - Though I would like a better way to organize them.
@Vivaldi Mostly A.
Fun fact: my bookmarks folders comes from IE, imported in Opera, imported in Firefox, imported in Vivaldi. I still have bookmarks from MS from IE5.5 from an old PC running Windows ME (so some of them are 25 years old!). ^^
@ThePfromtheO The best @Vivaldi bookmarks feature, IMHO, is the automatic saving of #Description field with the #meta tags from the bookmarked #webpage !
For example, even if i save it quickly, i can easily find again this bookmarked page https://www.mediapart.fr/journal/ecologie/290525/ecologie-le-grand-retour-en-arriere, only typing "pesticide" or "a69" in the url bar or bookmark search field 👍
No other browser allows this...
Réintroduction de pesticides dangereux, mégabassines, passage en force à l’Assemblée nationale et sur l’A69 : sur la défense des écosystèmes, de la biodiversité et de la santé, la marche arrière est enclenchée. Dans « À l’air libre », échange sur ce grand retour de bâton écologique, qui n’est peut-être pas inéluctable.
@Vivaldi It's A, except I just imported four older backups so I have approximately five clones of bookmarks.
Will go through them with a bookmarks clean-up extension.
@Vivaldi From a scientific point of view (AFAIR) most people won't use web bookmarks any more.
From those who do, you can distinct three rough categories: filer (the ones with a folder hierarchy), piler (one folder or chaos) and spring cleaner (piler that do delete/file after a while).
Related to filers, you may be interested in the work
of Boardman et al who did some research with common folder hierarchies for emails, files, bookmarks and such probably 20 years ago.

@WildEnte @Vivaldi @thalskarth Thanks.
I, too, am absolutely convinced that search is more efficient for retrieval tasks in general.
However, you need to differ between retrieval domains such as bookmarks, file system, emails, ... as they do have their specific properties. Therefore, you can hardly transfer things from mail to bookmarks or files.
And then there's the difference between what would be efficient and what people do or people think.
The latter should be influenced by education but I don't see much school content related to that.
And this is why I do courses, workshops, lectures, ... for grownups to teach efficient working with digital technology. Really the basics. I tell people how to use email after doing that for many years while working. We really do teach the wrong things in schools. 😞

Additionally to that: some things can't be taught in school since it requires some business experience. But that's a different topic.
