How to Utilize Browser Bookmarks

It's common that people need to access the same websites repeatedly for their work purposes, including calendars, applications, and portals. Bookmarking these resources offers a simple way to quickly and easily access them on demand.

Listed below are practices that can help you take these handy utilities to the next level of usefulness. 

What Issues Can Bookmarks Help Address?

There are a few considerations that using bookmarks strategically can help navigate. For example, how often do you lose track of pages as tabs build up, or lose links in text chains? Any important website can be saved in an organized manner with the help of bookmarks, helping businesses maintain their efficiency.

Naturally, there are good ways to use bookmarks, and there are better ways to use bookmarks. Here’s some of the latter:

Save Bookmarks With Utility in Mind

If your browser currently resembles a series of tabs, consider adding the ones you use frequently to your bookmarks so you can close them without worrying about losing them. Doing so is pretty simple: either click on the star in the address bar, or press Ctrl+D/Cmd+D. When you do so, make sure you name your new bookmarks to make it clear what each link is.

Keep Your Bookmarks Organized

Of course, bookmarks are only helpful if you can find the ones you’re looking for. This means you should use folders to keep them organized, whether by project, client, resource type, or any other relevant variable. You can even use subfolders to break these folders down further, making it easier to locate resources as needed.

Sync Your Bookmarks Across Your Devices

One of the most significant benefits of having browsers that you can log into is the fact that you can maintain a consistent user experience across them, including the bookmarks you have saved. This makes it simpler to continue working wherever you are and boosts productivity as a result. All you have to do is log in with the same account on your different devices.
