I exported mine and searched for "http". I got 1,882. Crazy. I only use about 20 regularly.

Across all platforms and browser instances, I have about 40 to 50 in total (I don't feel like actually counting them) and I think I use more than half of them every day. The rest are things I either use occasionally or that I want to use eventually but currently don't or can't.

I have about 20 sites bookmarked with just their favicon that are sort of "first order access", though I use some of them more regularly than others. At random intervals, one will catch my eye and I'll think "I haven't used that in a while, I don't think I need that up there anymore" and I'll remove it, usually while I'm at it I'll remove others too. I have about a dozen folders too, these are more long-term storage, e.g. I have one for all my financial institutions (not to brag but I have several student loan servicers ๐Ÿ˜ฃ), one for network security tools, one for rare media finding tools, etc. These are used less often and they usually get put there after I've had to go look them up several times. I tend to keep it well pruned though, I think I have maybe 200 distinct sites bookmarked.

10 or so I use daily. 20 or so others I reference occasionally.

No idea, but I never use them.

Bit over 200 but this is a collection I've been building for around 20 years or so.

Why search for http? Do you have Gopher or Usenet links too?

I have exactly 9 and I use 8 of them daily. The 9th is a bread recipe.
