Ways to keep links
Compare browser bookmarks, local files, hosted managers, and encrypted sync by the jobs each one does.
Browser bookmarks, a local file, a hosted bookmark manager, and Bracemark can all keep addresses you want to find again. Choose by the work you need the collection to do and where you want it stored.
Compare the questions that matter
| If you need… | Consider… | Check before you move |
|---|---|---|
| A small set of sites in one browser | That browser’s bookmarks | Whether its own account sync covers your other devices and browsers |
| A file you can inspect and keep without signing in | An HTML bookmarks file or another local format | How you will update, search, and back it up yourself |
| Previews or search processed on a provider’s server | A hosted manager that offers them | What the provider can read, store, and export |
| Lists, tags, and search across the web app and phone apps, with encrypted sync | Bracemark | Search runs on each device; there is no email password reset or shared list |
For example, Chrome can sync its bookmarks across signed-in Chrome devices, and Firefox Sync can sync bookmarks through a Mozilla account. Bracemark adds a separate collection you can use in different browsers and apps; it also adds an account password and recovery code you must keep.
You can import browser bookmarks and export them again. Try the free plan with the links you actually use, and keep an export before you change your existing setup. For the data boundary, read how encryption and search work.
