I exported mine and searched for “http”. I got 1,882. Crazy. I only use about 20 regularly.

    Apparently 4614. Several hundred are probably duplicates tho. I’ll bookmark interesting pages that I see at work (since I usually don’t have time to read them) and occasionally import them to my main browser. Like others have said, that’s built up over many years. And in general I’ve tried to be more of a ‘bookmark it and close the tab already’ kind of person lately.

    It’s all various levels of hoarding and to-dos I know I’ll never get to, but pretty often I do find myself enjoying browsing through my bookmarks and remembering neat stuff I saw in passing or articles I wanted to read. It’s also fun sorting them out to folders, even tho I know they’ll never be properly organized nor especially useful if they were.

    I do very regularly use a few that I keep on my bookmarks toolbar. I make better use of that feature at work too, where I have the most important few pages and environments right at hand.

      Now that you mention it, I think part of the reason I ended up with so many is from trying to not keep tabs open. I also enjoy sorting them into folders. I don’t know why but it’s one of the more enjoyable things I’ve done on a computer in some time!

        For sure! Something about making it more organized little by little is super satisfying, theraputic even.
