I want to be able to manage and sort them. I use firefox, so both tags and folders are okay. manually exporting groups of them to like documents related to the topic I was researching (and then removing the bookmark) would also be okay. Self-hosted solutions are also welcome.
Very successful post, thank you everyone for sharing your bookmark-related tools.
Honset question: How many of these bookmarks do you use regularly? Can you trim them down to a much more manageable number of bookmarks?
I periodically go through my bookmarks and purge ones I haven’t accessed in a while because they’re not actually serving any purpose.
Yes certainly, and I think I’m gonna need a better UI than what firefox offers in order to do it. I’m real quick and messy about saving, so a lot is gonna get deleted for sure.

I just use Bitwarden.
In the desktop app, I created a new folder called ‘Bookmarks’, then for subfolders I click the ‘+’ icon next to ‘folders’ then enter ‘Bookmarks/Whatever’ and hey presto, I have a new subfolder called ‘Whatever’ under the ‘Bookmarks’ folder. I then add tags in the ‘notes’ section of each individual entry for easy searching.
Benefits: free, open source, private, encrypted, syncs between devices automatically.
Bookmarks Organizer is quite cool for just cleaning up broken bookmarks, duplicates etc…
404 Bookmarks is handy too, its crazy how many sites disappear
I save some links in org mode, if it’s not something i frequently use then what is the point in keeping it in the browser?
What i like about org mode is that it keeps things in a plain text file, i also have emacs scripting that helps a little.
Probably stupid but my brain says use excel or a Google sheet and then you can sort and do tags however you want
