Practical guides for a tidier web workflow.

Helpful explanations about bookmarks, bookmarklets and URLs—written to support real use of the tools.

How to organize browser bookmarks

Start with a small number of categories that match how you work. Keep names predictable, avoid creating a folder for every website, and review old bookmarks occasionally. A good system should save time rather than create maintenance work.

What is a bookmarklet?

A bookmarklet is a browser bookmark containing JavaScript. When activated, it can perform a small action on the page you are viewing. Because it runs code, review unfamiliar bookmarklets before using them.

Why clean URLs?

URLs can contain tracking parameters as well as parameters required by a website. Removing known tracking values can make links easier to share, but functional parameters should not be removed blindly.

Keep bookmark exports private

Bookmark exports can reveal websites you have saved or visited. Treat exported files as personal data and store them securely. Do not upload them to services you do not trust.
