Why use website-specific favorites instead of browser favorites? Isn’t it inconvenient to have bookmarks siloed across different websites? My browser bookmarks work on any website, are synced across devices and backed up automatically (Safari), and are easily searchable and organized via folders or tags.

- pc86 6y agoThe only benefit is that the HN favorites are public (to HN) so you can get aggregate data like this. For the individual user there is zero reason.
