I want to better organize my bookmarks, but I got a lot of them and even if I already tried to be a bit more organized, they look awful to me. I try to organize them by category and by folder, but still I don’t want to have 100 folders of 1 bookmark.
You guys organise bookmarks? You don’t just throw them wherever and never use them again?

I personally just delete all of them, and never think about bookmarks ever again.
I’ve found that I never used them after a few weeks, or months, certainly not years, my history has worked for company URLs, I just never used bookmarks, and it was a busy mess.
I find it easier to just use the pages I use and never bookmark anything anymore.
For the most part: Important everyday bookmarks go to the bookmark-toolbar directly, everything else goes to few top-level directories in bookmark toobar: games, software, hardware, wishlist, media, work
the directories are then further sectioned into subfolders, eg games->gamename and so forth.
Sometimes I do wish the directories would just automatically alphabetize themselves, but oh well.
I just tag them when I make them.
Stuff I use often goes into folders in the bookmarks toolbar
I gave up on them a long time ago. I came to realize that anything that I bookmarked never got reopened once the internet turned into a bunch of data silos. Now I store everything I might want to see again in Pocket. On the rare occasion that I need to find something again, I find it via another RIL app called ReadKit, as Pocket doesn’t search the entire archive but only what’s been pre-loaded / cached from scrolling the list. ReadKit searches everything. I like the Pocket service, but fuck the client app search.
Did Pocket get rid of its offline reading feature? Every time I try to open one of my saved articles with no internet connection, it tells me that nope, it’s not available without a connection.
That wasn’t the case a couple of years ago.
I have tidy folders for stuff, 5 categories, 10 subcategories often with sub-sub-categories.
And all the rest gets just dumped into the bookmarks toolbar.
I wish firefox would allow to multi-select them to cut-paste multiple ones.
I am fine with just using search, but it is a mess
Eventually you may come to the realization that organizing bookmarks is a waste of time
I have a bookmark bar and good intentions at first. But in the end most of them are under the >> on the far right side of the bookmark bar in no particular order…
With raindrop.io free tier. Folders and tags. Only a few bookmarks are permanently in the browser
