i mostly use it to store urls i visit rarely or infrequently, more as a means of not forgetting things. sites i visit all the time? well i either remember the url and just type it in, or i just leave a tab open. here's one of my favorite bookmarks:

I bookmark stuff that I want to revisit but dgaf enough to memorize the url. or if it has a long url. I have a lot of bookmarks

I don't bookmark stuff on imgur though. I save it locally but keep the original filename so I can relink it later, but I can reupload if it gets taken down or something.

i use them so i can right-click on a folder and have a bunch of things open up in tabs that i look at every day and close tabs as i go to indicate progress

some things like an online banking login page are too complicated to type or require several clicks through an easy-to-type front page and gently caress giving advertisers money

right click -> bookmark all tabs into some bookmark folder like "tabs [today's date]", right click -> close all tabs, then i literally never look at the bookmarks ever
