personally I have switched to a plugin called "OneTab" in all my browsers. its super nice because it just adds a button to your browser to store all open windows in OneTab, which basically is just and endless html page on which i can search on. This leads to me saving all open tabs onto it when im rebooting and later on just removing those that i dont like quickly by window instead of one by one. It has import and export functions too so i dont need to worry about it. Furthermore because it also has an inbuild douplicate scanner. IMHO its been a long time since I made a REAL bookmark. Otherwise browser completion has become really good, for instance "yc" will show me hackernews so its much quicker to just tab into the address bar and be on my way. Funny enough, the bigger my screen gets the less of advertisement icons I want on it, so removing the fav bar really has gone unnoticed by me. I have more grief with firefox removing the reload button from the adress bar, but i bet thats just a random setting somewhere.

the plugin is probably more comfortable, but I think "bookmark all open tabs" chrome and firefox have. something I recently learnt is that in firefox you can search all open tabs by starting with % in the adressbar

  well true but the advantage of the plugin is more that its not really that persistent. For instance: when I research a new topic i sometimes have 20 open tabs out of which i really want to bookmark none, but as long as i am working on the issue i want to be able to use them still. This is where onetab shines, because it lets me remove all, lets call them virtual bookmarks, that have been gerated by one specific window. Henceforth i can use a window more like a topic of interest and am totally able to "hibernate" on research. and when i come back i just click "open all tabs" on the index and will be goot do go: https://www.one-tab.com/ https://www.one-tab.com/ I believe my actual point was, that I have much more stuff that i like to store temporarily, instead of a "permanent bookmark" and the ability to remove bookmarks by "window" really allows me to ogranize myself better.
