Do normal people nowadays actually use bookmarks at all?

I wouldn't be surprised if 95% of people who get a new phone, for instance, never create a bookmark on its web browser.

Possibly the % is higher on desktop, but then I would guess the number of bookmarks is still probably in the magnitude of less than 5, and they could be considered more like quick launch shortcuts than a true hierarchal bookmark organisation system.

I bookmark lots of things! And then promptly forget about them.

Mostly, I just leave the tab open. I have... Many tabs.

I don't even know how to create bookmarks on my phone.

On a bunch of computers, though, I have thousands of them, going back years... if not decades.

(So maybe I'm not all that normal.)
