Dozens of bookmarks get messy fast -- folders fix that
The more sites you visit regularly, the messier a flat bookmark list becomes. Sorting them into topic folders makes it far faster to find the one you're looking for later.
It's worth cleaning bookmarks out periodically, too
Bookmarks tend to accumulate long after a site stops being useful. Periodically clearing out ones you no longer visit, and keeping only the handful you actually use on the visible bookmarks bar, keeps the whole system easy to manage instead of just growing forever.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I move my bookmarks to a different browser?
Yes -- most browsers support exporting bookmarks to a file and importing them into another browser, so you can carry them over when you switch.
My bookmarks have piled up and gotten hard to manage. What helps?
Periodically clearing out sites you no longer visit, and keeping only your most-used bookmarks on the visible bookmarks bar, makes the whole list much easier to manage.
