Hot off the success of her recent AwesomeBar is awesome post, Deb's got even more reason to love (or anticipate) Firefox 3.
I won't spoil it with any of my own commentary this time. Just head over to dria.org and read her latest post, Firefox 3 Bookmarks (My god, it’s full of stars…).
OK. I can't not say something :-) . I'll keep it short.
It would be an understatement to say that, like Deb, I've never been a big fan of traditional browser bookmarks. To be more blunt, I've always hated them. They fail in just about every way at helping me accomplish what I want to accomplish -- quickly and easily getting back to a page I've visited before.
With the exception of a few bookmarks on my bookmarks toolbar and a couple others called up by their typed shortcut (bookmark keyword,) I just stopped using bookmarks. If it didn't fit in my toolbar or the limited space I have in the part of my brain that stores shortcut names, I just didn't save it. I found it more convenient to keep a super-long browsing history and just search through there when I wanted to return to any of the sites that didn't fit in those two very finite spaces.
That was before Firefox 3.
Thanks to all the great new features that Deb describes, now I'm bookmarking the hell out of the Web and I'm never more than a couple of clicks or keystrokes away from all the content I want to revisit.
