Why not? How often?

This should take literally 5s using the bookmark manager, right click on "Bookmarks Toolbar", "Open All Bookmarks". Then some more to load the websites I guess.

Some links can only be accessed through a VPN.

I have thousands of bookmarks that also have names but I would still like to see the icons before clicking the link. Sometimes the name doesn't hint at what kind of resource the bookmark was at a glance. Is it a youtube video, is it an article?

I already have access to that information at the time of bookmarking. I don't want to lose it and then have to get it again.
