On: Ask HN: Do you still use browser bookmarks?

[13of40]

I use bookmarks, but only in the sense that I use the bookmarks bar at the top of my browser. It's quite well curated and sorted so I can get to http://whatever/internal/web/portal/we're/worshipping/this/w... and https://whatever/damned/source/control/system/we're/using/th... at the click of a button. I don't bookmark junk stuff, and I clear off the bar regularly.

I do something similar. My bookmark bar looks like this: GSuite, Hackernews, The Morning Paper, Google Docs, Customer Folders (wiki, ticketing systems, relevant documentation or whatever), Personal Folder (NAS, etc), My Company Folder (internal Things), Things to Read (stuff I bookmarked but haven't actually read yet)

[archvile → ninjakeyboard]

I use separate Chrome profiles for personal/work, so things like bookmarks, history, etc. don't get mixed together. And if for whatever reason I need to quickly remove just my personal stuff from the machine (or work stuff), I just have to wipe out that one profile. I'm surprised more browsers haven't adopted profiles yet.

Firefox has had profiles since at least 2008.

No.. Netscape had them since e v4
