# Bookmarking

To prevent rethreading the same research paths, I'm documenting my bookmark journey.

I'm currently using [Firefox](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/) across my devices and using it's inbuilt bookmark system.

### Acceptance criteria

1. Bookmarks are searchable from the address bar, because that's where I do my searching.
2. Contents are archived to prevent link rot. Thanks to Archivor and [Web Archives](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/view-page-archive/), I can search for any broken bookmark.
3. Bookmark contents are searchable (using [Fafi](https://vandragt.com/tag/fafi)).

### Maintenance

I've added the following addons:

1. [Archivor](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/archiveror/) - Sends all bookmarks to the internet archive so I can retrieve them if they get lost. This replaces many paid services.
2. [Bookmark Dupes](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/bookmark-dupes/) - Easily remove duplicate bookmarks, for example after importing from another service, or after adding the bookmark multiple times. It is very fast as it seems to compare via hashing. I disable the addon after running.
3. [Bookmark Organiser](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/bookmarks-organizer/) - Correct redirections and remove broken bookmarks. Because of redirections it makes sense to run this one before Bookmark Dupes, but it is a lot slower as it visits every bookmark. I disable the addon after running.

Feedback welcome!
