I just want to claim that this the reason why MS Edge and Google Chrome do not have native bookmark tagging. Any feature that makes bookmarks easier to search cuts into the bottom line of Bing/Google.
- agumonkey 5y agoGood idea for Mozilla to push a few more features around this topic. Nyxt has some auto tagging or summary features iirc.

- ReaLNero 5y ago> why MS Edge and Google Chrome do not have native bookmark tagging A similar feature is lacking in file explorer GUIs, so it's likely a different reason. My guess (from anecdotal experience) is most people don't use bookmarks, and those that do don't see value in organizing them. It takes too much discipline from the user to tag documents each time they are added. So the userbase for bookmark tagging is miniscule. So ultimately, since so few users value the feature, no one bothers implementing it.
