That's because I already have bookmarks in my browser, marking articles as favorite on HN would give me no value.

HN Comments is where the money is, not the stories themselves.

Comments have links that can be bookmarked too, under that timestamp, here's yours:

I usually favorite a whole story so that I have access to all comments, not just one.

I didn't know that comments can be bookmarked, that's a very unusual and neat feature

Unusual? Reddit and Twitter have it, GitHub/GitLab have anchors too, which platform lacks comment links?

I switch computers frequently (desktop, chromebook, laptop, phone, etc.) so having some kind of centralized 'favorites' is nice. I've not used the bookmark sync with Firefox or such.

I've noticed that I rarely go back and look at my favorites though.

I download the articles, so I can even read them in the event they are taken offline.

I use Pocket which then gets IFTTT'd to Pinboard which archives them for me.
