Why wouldn't they merge that with the Chrome bookmark sync? Many years back there used to be a section in Google Docs (I think that's what it was called at the time, well before the switch to Drive) where I could see all of my bookmarks; if I was away from my personal computers, I could still see the links without syncing chrome. I switched to Xmarks just for that feature.

Granted, now I always have my phone with me which has the sync. But it still seems odd that they wouldn't give us web access to that data.

I use this because it does one important thing that I want to do with bookmarks: it allows me to search the content of the pages I've bookmarked. Basically it's a mini Google Search that only searches pages I've bookmarked.

I basically use it as a selective history that is easy to search. I do almost no tagging or adding descriptions because I don't need to.

It's too bad development has ceased on Google Bookmarks and I hope any new bookmarking tool from Google has this feature.

Which they seem to not care about - maybe they'll sunset it and finally force me to do the work to get off the outdated platform.

I made the mistake of heavily using this after delicious went away (and is now back :S). I'm at a loss at what I should do now.

Those "bookmarks" mostly appear to be locations I've starred on Google Maps.
