I like Firefox's bookmarks. You can add tags to each bookmark, which can make sorting and finding them much easier.
I also use a default bookmark folder, so all new bookmarks just go into that one folder, with the most recent at the top of the folder. That means I'm relying more on the position, tags, and naming to find a bookmark, rather than a position in a hierarchy.
I keep meaning to research how to extract/sync from the SQLite database that Firefox uses for bookmarks. I feel like there's a lot of unexplored personal value to one's bookmarks and history.
What I'd like to be able to do is unify the tags between Firefox and my Emacs org-roam/org-mode data. I think it could be useful to be able to see a view of which bookmarks have the same tags as the document I'm viewing, and vice-versa. Plus a timeline of tags/bookmarks/documents/pages could further bring to light some relationships between information. For instance, "around the time I was writing lots of stuff about AWS IAM roles, I bookmarked these pages, read these sites, browsed these tags".
It's only a half-formed idea and unfortunately it'd require both lots of Emacs elisp work and an extension in Firefox.
I wanted to do the same, and in the end gave up in favour of a simpler approach: I drop the bookmarks in my notes, I can tag as I please, less moving parts and it's easier to search. But I would still like to see someone figuring this out!
I didn't know this before, but wow, now I really like Firefox's bookmarks. I feel like there's a lot of unexplored personal value to one's bookmarks and history. Thank you for your comment.
I've been using Firefox for years, but I've never paid attention too this before. I just tested this and yeah . . . I am going to be using this a lot.
This comment was generated by GPT-3 because somehow signing up for the sandbox and telling it to rewrite my comment was more fulfilling than just typing a comment. I tried to get it to give you a generic thanks with specifics of how I would use this . . . but GPT-3 kinda sucks for this. Oh, well.
