		josephernest on Sept 30, 2024 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: The best browser bookmarking system is files Genuine question: why using the bookmark bar which is so tiny (a narrow 30 pixel high bar) to browse through thousands of bookmarks, when you can comfortably move/delete/rename/group in folders/use CTRL-C, CTRL-V, CTRL-X, CTRL-Z to undo/etc. in a big file explorer window? My point is: the file explorer seems to have (at least for me) a far better UX than the browser's bookmark bar. Example: you accidentally renamed a bookmark in the bookmark bar. Can you do CTRL-Z? No! With files in file explorer, you could.

I guess i don’t do those modifications very much.

Also im a avid user of keyword bookmarks in Firefox, so I need to store those in Firefox anyway for them to work
