The best browser bookmarking system is already built-in

(Thanks for getting this on front page of HackerNews!)

 

Along the years I have tested various browser bookmarking systems.

And for 10 years, I've realised that the best bookmarking system is already built-in to most browsers (Firefox, Chrome), and that is:

files!

See the video, the drag-and-drop creates a .url shortcut file:

Just that. You drag and drop the URL to the Desktop or any folder.

No browser extension needed.

That's it! Probably the best bookmark manager ever.

This has worked for decades with Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer, and probably others, at least on Windows.
