Thousands. Unfortunately saving a bookmark has the same effect as entering a black hole for me. Potentially useful info I never resurface just because I tend to re-google instead of remembering it's there.<p>For the same reason I tend to leave tabs open so they stick a little more. But I have too many tabs open so I know that my model utterly broken.<p>Please help.
I had ~3300 bookmarks and just decided to bulk delete half of them that lived in random folders. Now i'm at 1400. Most of them are CS/tech/coding related. When I save a link I make myself believe its something important that I'll find useful in the future. The truth is I don't even know what is in my bookmarks anymore and I hardly ever go back to manually check what javascript article I bookmarked one year ago. Nowadays, I just use firefox awesome bar that, by default, searches through my bookmarks when I type something to search for. I also find tags much better at organizing bookmarks than folders and I'm happy firefox supports this feature.
417, managing them with my own tool [1]. It's a collection of links with a high probability of (re)visiting, structured in a folder-like pattern. For all articles, online courses, and other actionable items, I use Pocket/Todoist instead. And around ~10 browser bookmarks for things I'm using daily.<p>[1] <a href="https://darekkay.com/static-marks/" rel="nofollow">https://darekkay.com/static-marks/</a>
2000+ bookmarks.<p>If I need a specific bookmark, I press Shift + B in the browser and search for "linux SSH install" to get that particular page.<p>The reason I get that page is; I made a hashtag when I saved it as my bookmark. I try to come up with tags to find them back in seconds.<p>The reason I don't use FireFox tags itself is that if I imported the bookmarks into Chrome I lose the tags. And with my "solution" I don't lose them.
5008 on Pinboard, many thousands more in Instapaper.<p>I either find a use for them at some point, or I don't. Doesn't bother me if I don't as I'm not trying to process everything I come across, just putting them in a trusted system where I could find them again if I needed to.<p>I do find it useful if I have a personal research project in an area of interest to start searching with what I already have vs. going to Google. Most of the links I have are vetted either by me or a source I trust so they don't have a bias to who has good on page SEO.
On Pinboard.in I have 12983 bookmarks.<p>Many of them are recipes. Some are items on my wishlist. Lots of them are news articles, some essays. Lots of them are guides/tutorials howtos for Bash, Python, Linux, networking etc.<p>The recipes I use from time to time.<p>The IT-related ones I consult from time to time whenever I need them.<p>And since Pinboard allows for fulltext search it's quite easy to find stuff when I need it.<p>[Edit: One can also pay extra to enable archiving, so when articles are removed from the WWW one can still access them via Pinboard.]
Twenty, all in a single menu (I have set up no submenus), and all with a single word name in order that I can easily type it to use with a shell script that I use to launch the browser with loading a bookmark (the shell script uses SQLite to make a list of bookmarks if no name is given, as well as using SQLite to find the URL of the bookmark if the name is given). Occasionally I delete some, and occasionally I add some. I don't use the bookmark toolbar.
I've got >9k bookmarks, over half of them related to programming, collected over about 9 years.<p>At that scale, recall is indeed a problem, and one I've been planning a solution to for quite some time now. Think custom search engine with automated topic detection and tagging.
I've got close to 3000 bookmarks.<p>Almost all of them are saved as full text + PDF in my email (Gmail) inbox under separate labels like 'JS', 'Design', 'SEO' etc.<p>Gmail's search is pretty decent so it helps me find stuff that I am looking for quickly.
Most likely between 100 to 200 bookmarks. The majority of these bookmarks are sorted and placed in folders. It is just useful links for me - I do revisit them
less than 50, categorized in 5 folders as below:<p>1) google.com
2) office (all internal links like jira, wiki, stash, etc)
3) daily-read (hacker news, slashdot, etc. )
4) archive (the links which I like and refer as notes when needed)
5) to-read (some links which I found interesting to read but don't have time to read immediately)
