Add-ons

It's because of bad interface design and too many bookmarks: First, browsers add bookmarks in some menu instead of the toolbar per default. Then the toolbar in many browsers starts cluttered with useless presets. Then, if you have the bookmark added to the toolbar, it overflows into a toolbar menu, hiding the newest most important in it. Then, once this fills one screen, the new bookmarks are still added at the bottom, but the menu becomes scrollable. So to reach your bookmark, you have to open menus and painfully scroll in them without a scroll bar. Often, depending on browser, scrollwheel doesn't work well inside.

Now you can try and organize most bookmarks, like keep the tabs in their own quick access folder. But now it's hidden again and you have to remember to clean that up, which you forget, so it grows and you're back at the scrollable menu problem at some point.

All this teaches users it's faster to pin tabs or use session restore and leave tabs they will need later open, using bookmarks only as a last resort or backup they usually never need.

One simple help is adding bookmarks at the front and having toolbar as default folder, but that requires extensions, if it's possible at all depending on browser.
