How many of those bookmarks do you estimate are 404s now?

Right, so now I mostly see the titles of the bookmarks as a database of keywords I'm interested in that I can Google with later. It doesn't matter if the link is bad, Google will find it a new place. For example, 20 years ago I saved a link to cycling74, now dead. It had something to do with music and media performance software. Sure enough, they're still alive in a new location (https://cycling74.com/) I'm in the process of paring these links down to just keywords

I was genuinely interested, so thanks for the response.

I think a note-taking system would be great for the current version of what you're doing, because it would make the whole thing really easy to grep for keywords.

I kinda wish I had all my really old bookmarks, but as you say--I can find what I want with google.
