Who Has the Most Bookmarks?


I'm building a bookmarker extension and its crapping out when people try to import 40K bookmarks. I never considered people would have that many bookmarks!

I'm wondering how many I need to be able to handle to take on the biggest bookmark hoarder out there.

I'm probably pretty close to that. I find that I bookmark 20± open tabs into a folder while doing research. Looking to organize them all, though want to pass them to a crawler and set up for indexing and tagging.

HN upvotes have supplanted some of my link hording the last few years, but are essentially bookmarks but another name

Answering for myself I currently have 688 active links but I'm not a hoarder.

~20,000 bookmarks. Typically have hundreds of tabs open across multiple browser windows.
