I have lots of them and arranging, finding or deleting is tricky sometimes. The search option in bookmarks is cool, but I can’t select and edit or delete bookmarks using it.
Currently I sync bookmarks with a pc and then rearrange it and sync back.

How do you do it? Are there any other settings or techniques you use or know of?

Thanks in advance

    I also sync with all my devices and I only use the bookmark bar with folders. But I am not a very heavy bookmarks user.

    I self-host Hoarder. It supports full-text search (indexes the entire page) and can use OpenAI to auto-tag all links.

    I’m usually skeptical of AI, but this is a good use case for it, and it’s cheap - I imported hundreds of links from Pinboard and it cost around $0.30 to auto-tag all of them. It can use ollama instead of OpenAI, if you’re into self-hosted AI.

    I don’t use the builtin bookmarks. I use Readeck (and Wallabag before it) to save stuff for later. Lets me tag them, has good search, and even archives what I save. Comfortable to use on phone, too.

    Does require selfhosting it, though.

    Folders, subfolders and a system to organize bookmarks into them… More or less, it’s not always efficient enough for me to remember where I kept that cool random brackets generator web I once found, but I’m fine with it.

    First of all, the meagre ‘search’ in ‘Manage Bookmarks’ does not tell you where a ‘found’ bookmark IS, which makes it next to useless. (If ONLY it would tell you that in the list you see when you click the URL.)

    Over the years (on DESKTOP, I can only guess the horrors on tinyscreen) I’ve developed a system of folders with generic names that I use to sort BMs as I add them. My 3 top categories - the only ones visible in the ‘Toolbar’ are OFTEN (frequently visited sites grouped by folder), RESOURCES (folders at the top are most-visited) and LOCAL (most-visited on top). I also use the ‘New bookmark order’ extension, which adds new bookmarks to THE TOP of whatever folder I put them in (easy to open and drag-into folder topic).

    Works, but it’s hardly ideal, that’s for sure. Don’t think anyone at Moz has addressed this design in years.)

    I just don’t ever organized bookmarks, and rarely use any to begin with. You can search through bookmarks in the URL bar, so no need to go through folders with them.
