I usually only have a few bookmarks (at most 20).

Previously I had nearly 300, but, TBH, I found I had started to spend too much time looking for the bookmark for a site, and not enough looking at the site.

So, I just deleted all of them. I know the URLs of the sites I use most regularly (I have a good memory for stuff like that), and I find it quicker to type the URL.

BTW, I'm certainly not a newbie. Been using the 'net 10 years this year..

I've got a quite a few, but with a lot of them, I haven't visited since I bookmarked them, a few years ago. I just haven't cleared them out.

i find it quicker just to type into google the site name and let it do the rest. that, or just remember the url cos i'm sad and can remember long boring things like that... :disturbd:

What's a bookmark? :erm: Do you mean your Favourites? I have a script that runs each morning - copies them somewhere else. I have hundreds of the things - can never find what I want :D

's funny. Every browser on the planet (apart from IE) calls them bookmarks.. IE has to be different..

Well given that the Internet consists of websites and not books (that would be a library), maybe "Favorite" is more appropriate?
