I want to be able to manage and sort them. I use firefox, so both tags and folders are okay. manually exporting groups of them to like documents related to the topic I was researching (and then removing the bookmark) would also be okay. Self-hosted solutions are also welcome.

Very successful post, thank you everyone for sharing your bookmark-related tools.

I've started to use Raindrop, seems to work well and you can tag each bookmark and later search by tag.

    Honset question: How many of these bookmarks do you use regularly? Can you trim them down to a much more manageable number of bookmarks?

    I periodically go through my bookmarks and purge ones I haven't accessed in a while because they're not actually serving any purpose.

    Yes certainly, and I think I'm gonna need a better UI than what firefox offers in order to do it. I'm real quick and messy about saving, so a lot is gonna get deleted for sure.

    The developer recently added support for SearXNG and some other alternatives to Google that lets you see related bookmarks when doing a search.

    Can you elaborate and / or link to docs about this please ?

    I can't seem to find anything relevant and I use both linkding and searxng.

    I don't even sort them in folders anymore, just make sure I add tags to them when saving, then use search

    I use Nextcloud bookmarks with Floccus. Floccus can be installed as an add-on in Firefox and as an app on Android. It retains the folder structures of bookmarks.

    https://github.com/wallabag/wallabag this is more like a self-hosted pocket.

    Could you sign in with Firefox and manage across multiple devices?

    What functionality are you looking for that goes beyond opening the bookmark manager and, you know, sorting them into folders?

  • source

    I just use Bitwarden.

    In the desktop app, I created a new folder called 'Bookmarks', then for subfolders I click the '+' icon next to 'folders' then enter 'Bookmarks/Whatever' and hey presto, I have a new subfolder called 'Whatever' under the 'Bookmarks' folder. I then add tags in the 'notes' section of each individual entry for easy searching.

    Benefits: free, open source, private, encrypted, syncs between devices automatically.

    If it’s all articles and documents I’d suggest zotero

    @Franzia Everything jarun has done there is worth a look

  • @Franzia Feel free to give feedback if you try this. After I have set up my operating system (again), I start (again) trying to get rid of things that are unnecessary and rather use tools like those of jarun. I am above all a draw between Raindrop.io and buku and how well it works to use them with neovim/Obsidian and a launcher like rofi or onagre.

    Probably not what you're after, but there's a new Fediverse bookmarking tool called Postmarks

    I save some links in org mode, if it's not something i frequently use then what is the point in keeping it in the browser?

    What i like about org mode is that it keeps things in a plain text file, i also have emacs scripting that helps a little.

    Probably stupid but my brain says use excel or a Google sheet and then you can sort and do tags however you want
