- greyskull 12y agoWhy wouldn't they merge that with the Chrome bookmark sync? Many years back there used to be a section in Google Docs (I think that's what it was called at the time, well before the switch to Drive) where I could see all of my bookmarks; if I was away from my personal computers, I could still see the links without syncing chrome. I switched to Xmarks just for that feature. Granted, now I always have my phone with me which has the sync. But it still seems odd that they wouldn't give us web access to that data.
- abraham 12y agoThe old Google Bookmarks can't be merged with Chrome bookmark sync because Bookmarks uses tags while Chrome uses folders. The same URLs would end up getting duplicated in several folders.
- dublinben 12y agoThose "bookmarks" mostly appear to be locations I've starred on Google Maps.
- cjoelrun 12y agoI made the mistake of heavily using this after delicious went away (and is now back :S). I'm at a loss at what I should do now.
- mkehrt 12y agoPinboard. It is great.
- nileshk 12y agoI use this because it does one important thing that I want to do with bookmarks: it allows me to search the content of the pages I've bookmarked. Basically it's a mini Google Search that only searches pages I've bookmarked. I basically use it as a selective history that is easy to search. I do almost no tagging or adding descriptions because I don't need to. It's too bad development has ceased on Google Bookmarks and I hope any new bookmarking tool from Google has this feature.
