Browser bookmarks have long since been able to be bookmarked, categorized, synced to other machines, can include description, and if you fiddle a little - print them too.

Not sure what you're talking about here, really.

> [I quit using browser bookmarks because 1) it cannot be backed up 2) does not survive reinstalling the browser 3) does not move to other machines 4) cannot add a text description 5) cannot categorize them 6) cannot print them.]

The old Netscape bookmarks.html format is fairly well supported by lots of software (incl. the browser that you're using, probably).

Just looking from where I stand, in Tor Browser (patched version of Firefox):

- Hamburger menu

- Bookmarks

- Manage bookmarks (Or hit Ctrl + Shift + O)

There are backup, restore, import, and export options. There is also a button labelled "Organize" where I can create folders and move the bookmarks into them.

I think that hits all 6 points.

Unsurprisingly I'm doing the same, and the file is also named 'links.txt'. Using tags however, instead of categorising. Problem is, I almost never get to read them, an issue that this app is trying to alleviate.

I always make sure to include the browser user profile directory in my file-level backups for this reason. Then I can restore bookmarks but also my hundreds of tabs...

Reminds me of that famous HN Dropbox comment lol But whatever works for you :)

Many problems don't need solving!

Agree! Some solutions are for quality of life though
