Never got into bookmarks, seemed slower to have to grab a mouse and dig around to find the bookmark I was looking for, vs ctrl-t then the first few letters.

- blooalien 3y agoExcept that bookmarks are searchable, and in most browsers that search is a) available by hotkey, and b) offered as suggestions in the autosuggest of the address bar, so bookmarks tend to be useful to me at least.
- mananaysiempre 3y agoFirefox will search for bookmarks from the address bar in exactly the way you describe.
- mjan22640 3y agoIt can be configured to only search the bookmarks, not leaking the sites you visit to the search engine.
- emodendroket 3y agoThe omnibar (do they still call it that?) searches your bookmarks and it's more reliable than hoping it doesn't age out of your history.
- inetknght 3y agoFun fact: Firefox adds your whole window (url/search bar and pinned bookmarks) to your tab-stop queue. So you can just press tab to select the pinned bookmarks and use arrow keys to navigate the bookmarks. That is, unless, the site you're on is Technically Fucking Braindead and decides to intercept keystrokes. Fuck those sites though. There's an about:config to disable that behavior but a some certain sites stop working entirely without it. Google Documents... I'm looking at you...
