Only 1679 bookmarks? What is this, the 1900s?

You don't understand, I might need that hilarious Cracked listicle from fifteen years ago!

Am I weird for mistaking this for "bookmarks from the year 1679" and thinking that was the point of the meme?
Try 6746 open tabs. And several times that more bookmarks.
I don't bookmark, but I do have ArchiveBox set up to automatically archive almost every page I visit.
- Do archivebox allow you to full-text search through archived contents ?
  I've mostly replaced bookmarking with wallabag, mostly because of the full-text index, but I've been eyeing archivebox for a while because it handles more types of stuff
  
  I don't think it indexes the text content, but you could certainly set something up with an external application that indexes the archived pages and lets you search them. Did a quick search, and in one GitHub issue someone is talking about setting up Sonic Search for that purpose: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/issues/956#issuecomment-1320587158
  EDIT: It seems Sonic is actually a search system developed specifically for ArchiveBox full text search. I'm gonna try it out too.
  EDIT: Works great
The bookmark bar folder is the only one that matters, the rest of the bookmark folder might as well be the crack at the back of my sofa—stuff falls down there by accident and I occasionally might go in to clean it out and find something cool
Funny that you posted this now. I spent half of my day pruning bookmarks and all I got done was whittling it to 3600 from at least 5000.
Before today I've gone 15 years not ever trying to manage them...and will probably not touch them again because another round sounds like work.
Most of those links are probably dead by now. Breaks my heart.
Who needs bookmarks, when you have tabs?
I have about 15 bookmarks. Things I want to buy, mail services, discord, YouTube, Amazon (well, all those things that have apps but I don’t want to use apps), purchased stuff like BetterDisplay I might need to re-download, game stores like nitnendo, PS and GOG, the free game on epic games store, and some piracy and emulation threads.
