I haven’t used software to keep track of bookmarks before, I usually keep the the bookmarks in Firefox well organised. I installed an open-source program called Bookmark Manager to try it out. After installing it I ran it and found it came with a list of religious bookmarks included, I thought this was a bit sneaky, then I found they couldn’t be deleted! I uninstalled the program and I will just continue to use the bookmarks in Firefox while I look at other programs.
