However, let's keep it as its own. This has been by far the most valuable program I have used, without any real comparable alternative, imho.
=====================
Linkman gives full support. And they are pretty robust in having a number of browsers built-in. Hard to find improvements that will bring them from 8.99 to 9.0. And I have over 100K bookmarks and it works wonderfully.
Once I suggested that they might have an archive feature, where your pages could be kept on your disk, for those that vanish or become 404s. (A decent pct. can then be found in Archive.org. or by Google search.) They actually were working on it a bit, I think they decided it was too much effort and complication for too little usage.
What a program! It is especially helpful as a research assistant. I group a topic with a keyword (e.g. the "real Nazareth" or "WooCommerce plugin") and when the topic comes up in discussion I quickly have my 5 or 50 urls on the topic, with some notes about what is in that page. Also with Google books and Archive.org, I line it up in order and give each page of interest a description of what I found there.
Remember the predecessor, Powermarks :).
