NESKTOP and browser bookmarks: how they complement each other
Browser bookmarks are excellent storage. NESKTOP is an excellent working surface. Here is how to use both together for a faster, more organized browsing experience.
Browser bookmarks: the reliable archive
Browser bookmarks have been the default way to save links for decades. They sync across devices, work offline, and require no setup. They are excellent at what they do — storing links you might need someday. For deep archives, reference collections, and "save for later" links, browser bookmarks are the right tool.

NESKTOP adds a visual layer on top of your bookmarks. Instead of navigating text menus to find what you need, your most-used links are visible tiles on a canvas. You can arrange them spatially, group them in visual folders, add search widgets and notes beside them, and save the whole setup as a reusable layout. NESKTOP is designed for the links you reach for every day.
How they work together
Keep your browser bookmarks for long-term storage. Use NESKTOP for your daily active tools and links. The NESKTOP browser extension syncs your browser bookmarks so you can browse them visually on your canvas. Save interesting pages to NESKTOP folders with one click from the extension. Both tools get stronger when you use them together.
