Now that it's summer and I have an endless amount of time surfing, my bookmarks is stacking up. I bet it's the case for everyone else as well as we look for those cheap deals or try to stay current. So the question is how do you keep track of your bookmarks?

I'll start: here are the folders I have:

  • Business
  • Fun and Games
  • Multimedia
  • News
  • Personal
  • Resources
  • Search
  • Shopping
  • Technology
  • University

I'm thinking about organizing them into function types like news and blogs, social/forums, references, and resources.

I had well over 150, I procrastinated forever about cleaning it up and I just recently did it and got down to 21. I do have to say that one of the best features of Firefox 3.0 is that I don't need to have my bookmarks sidebar always open, I simply start typing the name of the bookmark in the address bar and it comes up.

As far as organization, I got down to 2 folders:

Common: contains all of the ones I check/hit on a daily basis for news, forums, deals, tech stuff, etc.

Email: contains links to Gmail, Hotmail, GoDaddy Webmail and Yahoo Mail

Simplify........

Dont forget stuff.

I have like 4 stuff folders other than the categories in the original post

its like

stuff#1

stuff#2

stuff#3

etc.

A very handy word if you just hate the word miscellaneous

and oh yeah.. some people also use a p0rn folder... with its different "genres" within that folder

I have pretty elaborate bookmarks... (> = subfolder)

*junk outside of folders*

As I'm surfing the internet, I will bookmark many things. It might be a story or a news item I didn't feel like reading at that moment, a site I briefly went to for a specific reason that I was interested in perusing again, something funny/interesting I've saved to show someone else, or misc. things that need to be categorized.

Periodically I will go through all of those things and put them in folders, and tag them accordingly. I also occasionally go through all of my dozens of sites to make sure the websites are still active. There's nothing like needing to check out some information, and finding the one site you saved for such an occasion to be dead.

I don't have them in folders, I just have them in the default/root folder which produces a giant single list with around 1,000+ web pages bookmarked. When I click "bookmarks" it takes around 10 to 20 seconds for the menu to appear. To scroll manually from the top to the bottom of the list takes about 15 minutes. I should sort them one day, lol :)

* Bookmarks Toolbar - sites I visit regularly (gmail, google, reddit, neowin, yt, etc.)

* Bookmarks Menu - sites I visit less often, but still on a fairly regular basis (at least once a day)

Then there's also 5 or 6 folders in my Bookmarks menu with sites I rarely visit, but are somewhat important... I try to keep it clean, so I never have more than 50ish bookmarks.

for about ~200 bookmarks I use:

the 3 default folders: Bookmarks Menu, Bookmarks Toolbar and Unfiled Bookmarks

And no subfolders

...but many tags.

Tagging is so much easier and useful than sorting things into folders.

We can only hope for an entire file system front-end based on such is eventually implemented.

That's a very organized way to sort bookmarks. Thanks for sharing!

Firefox 3 makes bookmarks a breeze without having to strictly categorise bookmarks into folders. Just click the star in the location bar and done. Want to make it easier to find later, click the yellow star again and add a couple tags which will aid in Awesome bar recall. These are automatically added to an Unsorted folder which keeps your usual Bookmarks menu nice and clean.

That's the way I do my bookmarks, with a dash of del.icio.us for stuff I want to pull up from anywhere, as well as Instapaper + Read Later + Instapaper app on my iPod touch which works really well.

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
    • Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here are the anticipated specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra based on previous leaks: 6.5-inch outer display and 8-inch inner display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2,600 nits peak brightness Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage 4.1mm thickness when unfolded and a weight of 210g 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 10MP or 12MP telephoto camera, 10MP cover camera, and 10MP selfie camera 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the device is not expected to be a major departure from its predecessor, although it could become slightly slimmer. Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
