People don’t bookmark? I have dozens of bookmarks all set up in folders. It’s just easier than typing every time. Plus, I have a PC connected to my TV for watching illegal sports streams. With bookmarks, I don’t need my keyboard most of the time. I just have a wireless mouse and that’s it.
you are way more right than you think. Now that i think about it i started bookmarking more and more in correlation with the search engine enshittification trend.
I group tabs I’m working on and yes I could bookmark them but my bookmark folders are such a mess. I can clean them up. So what’s the reason I don’t bookmark you might wonder? It’s lazyness
