It's an interesting idea but missing vital features for me. For example, the star in Chrome tells me that I have bookmarked this page in the past so I avoid having duplicate bookmarks even after editing the name. The standard synchronization also makes it easy to bookmark a link on my phone and then deal with it once I'm back at my computer. Now I would have to figure out a way to somehow download the URL as a file on my phone so it syncs to my computer. The favicon is another neat thing to have on bookmarks. Somewhere along the way it just feels like a backup makes more sense.

What is the real problem on having duplicates? They are only 1 KB files. Having duplicates with different names is even better, and helps to find it more easily in the future: let's say I have bookmarked 2 times this question https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19165259/python-numpy-scipy-curve-fitting https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19165259/python-numpy-sc...: 1. "python numpy/scipy curve fitting" 2. "scipy.optimize.curve_fit question" Later I can find it with query="curve fitting", or I can also find it with query="optimize". So it increases the chance of me finding it again :)

  It's probably tied to how I use bookmarks but I strive for quality over quantity. Some are just temporary until I get the chance to write down the important information or watch the video - others are more constant, but when I go through and purge bookmarks I want them gone. They will just clutter my bookmarks, waste time and make it difficult to find things. In your example about bookmarking the question I would instead transcribe the knowledge to Obsidian and link to the source. Not saying there's a right or wrong. Just down to how people treat bookmarks.

  The problem with dupes is pollution, e.g. of search results, and increased cost of maintenance In your example, how do you add/change tags for the same url if you have multiple files (and you don't even know how many)?
