    IE has easiest system for bookmarks, just a folder with .url links.
    Yep, it's the simplest of them all.

    Hi there

    I might be the only person left on this planet who actually like IE 11 -- bookmark toolbar and menus - brilliant -- also since all my Windows Internet IE stuff goes through my Linux gateway and proxy I'm not in the slightest bit worried when people say IE11 is as leaky as a sieve when it comes to security !!.

    As for ridiculous things like "Browser speed comparisons" -- so much depends on your ISP speed, load on remote server etc that these things are nonsensical these days -- besides if you have an ISP rolling out now 10 Gb/s - I don't think speed of browser is an issue.

    Cheers

    So while not turning this thread into a "browser wars" type of thing one has to ask why on earth do you need so many bookmarks and is syncing between a load of devices that really important.


    I bookmark a lot of important information that I revisit every now and then. Syncing these bookmarks is very important to me, because I use many different devices and I want to have access to everything anywhere I go.

    In any case save them to an EXCEL spreadsheet so you can re-create them easily enough.


    I could do that, but it would not be that convenient when we talk about thousands if not tens of thousands of bookmarks. Slow to import and slow to export. I will probably write a program that can handle any sorts of bookmarks database from any browser brand and modify, import and export them as I please.

    To continue on my last post. I could easily bookmark all the Tenforums tutorials for convenience. But I rarely need those guides as reminders. If I was an IT-Admin I'd definitely bookmark every single one of them and also related information as cross reference from other sites.

    Tenforums tutorials would add bookmarks in the thousands alone. ;-)

    @slicendice

    You can save these as URL's in an excel spreadsheet so just clicking on a link will bring you to your website in whatever browser you have enabled as your standard. Excel is available on android devices too (and FREE) so so should work easily. You could also store this sheet in cloud and no prob at all with access on any device. No import / export etc necessary.

    Just click on the link and your browser (whatever your default is) will open the web page -- "Seeemples !!".

    While it would work, I would be dependent on Excel all the time. I would also lose all the convenience from seing only the links I want to see for a specific category. It would be very difficult and cumbersome to manage such file.

    I am puzzled how Skip Ahead will work now.

    Skippy is now for 20H1 but forks from current 19H1 Fast.

    Fast will move to 19H2 development once 19H1 is released.

    However 20H1 will not have 19H2 changes unless they are simultaneously merged into 20H1.

    Previously it did not matter if Skip was ahead of Fast as Fast merged with Skip on same build.

    This is not possible anymore if I understand correctly how it will work now.

    Having overlapping separate branches that are ALWAYS at a different build looks like a recipe for disaster.

    You will probably just get a few 20H1s to try things out and then it will go to 19H2 from another fork of 19H1. I wonder if 20H1 will have the Edge changes, that will take more than a few months to get right.

    @cereberus

    That is normal practice in software development. There could be multiple branches working on different things completely separate from each other. At some point a part from one branch merge with another when that particular part is done.

    I see absolutely no issue with this.
