History search is not an option when my browser is mostly in private window.

For me, Google has a mind of its own and has not been reliable in giving out related links even when I search with the exact page title from memory. Happened a lot with stackoverflow type sites.

I use Firefox bookmarks and think it has a reasonably good bookmark manager with support for tags and custom keyword searches etc.

Tip: In Firefox you can search bookmarks directly by prefixing searches with a * . It can even search bookmark tags.



In Chrome you can search bookmarks too. Start typing @bookmarks and it autocompletes search on your bookmarks. Same with @tabs to search through open tabs.


Edge has helpfully copied Firefox's "awesome bar" in doing bookmark search and history search with * and ^, respectively.

Sadly Edge doesn't do tags, I initiate them by appending keywords to the bookmark name.

(I have to use Edge at work.)
