Pure browser feature bookmarking features (meaning not extension based) have evolved much slower than other features ( or to be exact, concepts) and what i take in the end regarding the article are UX impromevents on the existing features but not much about concepts, namedly searching and perhaps organization.
By search i mean the ability to, on the bookmarks page, search not only by the bookmark title but by the URL content itself, which would mean adding a page search engine to the browser. When a user bookmarked a page, it's contents would be indexed (taking into account the security implications)
I believe people already do it today on a sense, it's most of the time easier to search Google than browse dozens or more bookmarks.
As for organization, any machine learning (if im addressing the correct concept) would probably be better than my current method, because a correct bookmarking process "pain" increases exponentially with the number of bookmarks a user already has.

- zemanel 14y agoExactly. Thanks! Had no idea that feature existed, going to try it out. Always have Opera i stalled and the UI is cool but frequent crashes (on OSX) and, i admit, mainstreams, make ne not using it much although i do cross html browser tests there
- Lagged2Death 14y agoAlways have Opera i stalled and the UI is cool but frequent crashes... I completely understand. I have a sort of love-hate relationship with Opera myself. The features and UI are miles ahead, IMHO, but other characteristics are so frustrating. The Windows version doesn't crash often, but there are plenty of web sites that don't get along with it.

- zemanel 14y agoCool in itself, wasn't aware, but dependent on a thirdy party service and indexing/searching seems to happen online? A browser builtin local solution could be best
