I can either put only a few bookmarks on the toolbar or put many bookmarks organized in folders and then forget about many of them since I never use them or see them. Is there any other way of organizing bookmarks?

    I make two categories: permanent bookmarks (ones that I visit frequently or just keep there for future reference) and short-term bookmarks (ones to be acted upon once and then removed). The former stays in the bookmark folder (or its children) and the latter stays on the bar. If they overflow the bar it’s a person problem, not a methodology problem.

      I also like this distinction, although personally, I leave them open as tabs.

      I also feel like another distinction can be made between bookmarks that you actually won’t remember the name of (you need those accessible) and bookmarks for which you can just type the name into the search bar (those can live in a separate folder somewhere else).

      Basically, don’t try to force grouping them into their topics, but rather group them by how you need to access them.
