1. it's independent of the browser

2. it works with any browser

3. I can move it to any machine and use it

4. It is not transmitted to the browser vendor

5. Being a text file, it is under my control

6. I can back it up

7. I don't need some database manager to access it

8. I can add notes and anything else to the file

9. It's stupid simple
