How Many Bookmarks Do you Have?

I made a small oneliner to count all the folders and urls inside the bookmarks.adr from the terminal (shell/bash):
awk '/\#FOLDER/ {folder++} /\#URL/ {url++} BEGIN {folder=0; url=0} END {print("Folders: " folder "\nURLs: " url)}' bookmarks.adrOf course 'bookmarks.adr' needs to be replaced with the path to where the file resides. On a Mac for the active user account it can be found here:
~/Library/Opera/bookmarks.adrResult:
Folders: 835
URLs: 6408And the file itself is now 1.9 MB big.
And what I noticed on two macs with synced bookmarks via opera Link:
The Mac version of Opera 12.16 doesn't handle huge bookmark lists that well. When starting Opera from another user account that hasn't such a massive bookmark list, Opera "feels" much faster and responsive. Especially the problem of the Mac Version, that typing in forms (like now) or the address bar is slow as molasses, seems to be triggered by the bookmarks.When starting Opera on both macs it takes some time (sometimes > 1 minute) until the bookmark list from the menu is complete. And typing something in the address bar, a form or even using a simple keyboard shortcut like CMD+C takes some seconds (worst case > 10 sec) until the browser becomes responsive again. What is weird, that when copying via menu instead of the shortcut there's no waiting time at all. But that mostly happens once after starting the browser, or sometimes for some reasons after longer times of inactivity. But for whatever reason copying texts via shortcut leads to a few seconds of unresponsiveness more often.

Over a year later, I now have 1280 bookmarks in 85 folders. I am sure that I still have loads that I never use, and some that are broken.

One month later, I have 1,053 bookmarks in 73 folders.
I deleted all of the broken links to the My Opera Forums. Now I found this thread, I have 1,054 bookmarks and 74 folders.

blackbird71 last edited by933 bookmarks, up from ~875 six months ago, in 246 folders nested as deep as 5 levels in some cases... but these bookmarks primarily live in Firefox now, after exporting them over from Old Opera. I've yet to do the cleanup of My Opera broken links in Firefox, but that should remove only about 15 or so bookmarks and a couple of sub-folders; I've removed the My Opera links from the 3 Old Opera versions on this system, but haven't run a bookmark count there yet.

Not even counting the default Opera bookmarks that I never bothered to delete, I have ~850 bookmarks, and 81 folders. Yeah, no one ever uses bookmarks in Opera.

I don't think Opera ever said nobody uses bookmarks, just that their "target market" largely doesn't. While in some ways, it might be nice to know we're not in somebody's cross-hairs, it certainly doesn't feel all that great, eh?

Recently I had a spring cleaning in my bookmarks and deleted many that were broken.
Bookmarks: 1390.
Folders: 273.
I have 10 browsers installed, and I imported the bookmarks in every browser. But 10 x 1390 doesn't count, or what.
In my archive I've got close to 3000 folders, and I reckon there's a few thousand Internet shortcuts there. It would be fun to know the number, but I don't know how to count the bookmarks without counting other files.

Bookmarks: 40 in 4 folders
Speed dial: 202 in 16 folders
Stash: 789202 speed dials? Lol....
I would guess that when you reach a certain point, the amount of speed dials begin to take a toll on the hardware? I have only 12 speed dials.

I got 0 bookmarks and 8 items in my Speed Dial. Not sure if it even counts, but bookmarks have never been important to me considering I almost always remember the pages I've been to.

In Opera 12, even though I don't use the Bookmarks bar, I see it more like an extension to the whole Bookmarking system. In Opera 20, it's the only place where I can manage my stuff, which is vastly inefficient to say the least. No tree view, because who would use that. No nicknames, no descriptions, no nothing, because screw power users, right?

I have over 4,000 accumulated over the years. Some are duplicates, some are obsolete. I need a bookmark sidebar like the old Opera had, and FF still has, and I guess IE has, tho I dislike IE, but Chrome doesn't have it nor does the new Chromeclone Opera.
If you want to know exactly how many you have, when you upload your bookmarks to Linkagogo - a great free program that I've been using for years - it will tell you exactly.

Cleaned my bookmarks after MyOpera was closed, removed the old broken Opera bookmarks and some other dead ones too and the repeat offender spammers that were plaguing the MyO blogs.

I've been fixing computers now for over 15 years now. Most of my bookmarks deal with fixing computer issues. I have 2251 bookmarks in 76 folders.
