I've given up on the built-in bookmarks in all browsers and even the New Tab page. I wrote up a single file HTML page and checked it into my dotfiles repos. Icons are short data urls of SVG with a hover drop down (like Reddit and various subreddits). I like that it's "self hosted" and not some 3rd party site.
I have hundreds of bookmarks, all neatly categorized, compared to the New Tab page's paltry 16 or whatever. I also get the exact same page in Firefox (personal), Chrome (work), or Firefox/Android.
It sounded silly at first but now I can't live without it.
- ravenstine 5y agoAre you saying you have your new-tab page set to a `file://` URL that points to an HTML file? If so, that's a pretty excellent idea. :D
- Steltek 5y agoYes but a little more complicated than that. You need an add-on, as the old "homepage" preferences seem to have gone by the wayside or don't work as expected.
- slightwinder 5y agoIsn't that awful to maintain?
