I've always thought it a shame how primitive the history and bookmarks are in Firefox. They don't seem to have evolved at all in 20 years apart from the ability to sync them across devices.

While I agree with you, since you added "in Firefox", actually Firefox lets me do more with my bookmarks than Chrome.

Firefox fixed this for you. They bought pocket and turned it into a paid product.

Fair point, I didn't mean to disparage Firefox it's just the only one I've ever used.

In Firefox I feel I can probably do away with bookmarks because of the address bar autocompletion. I think they used to call it the awesome bar, but I haven't heard that term for many years.
