The answer is likely obvious in that it depends on what content is the visible content at the time of the bookmark, which will further depend on the content itself (it can change since this is a bookmark on an alive web page), page styles, zoom level/scaling, window size etc.
Basically, for a bookmark to fully store a position, it would have to store all of the above (and probably more), and it would only be really usable on the same device as long as the underlying content does not change.
- kwhitefoot 6y agoThe underlying content of most pages that I bookmark does not often change. And storage is so cheap now that I would even be happy to have my browser save the rendered page whenever I save a bookmark so that when I ask to see the bookmarked page I get exactly what I was looking at. If I want to see what the page at that address looks like now I refresh the page. And I am almost always on the same device.
