By Most of us start with the browser bookmark bar. It is free. It is already there. For a handful of sites you open every day, that is enough.
Trouble starts later. The same link ends up in Chrome at work, Safari on your phone, and a chat message you cannot find. A title like “Untitled document” tells you nothing next month. A teammate asks for “that folder,” and all you can do is export a file or paste links one by one.
not24get.me is a bookmark manager for that later stage. This page compares it with built-in browser bookmarks so you can pick what fits.

| Finding a link | Open folders or search titles | Search notes and tags; paid plans can search page text |
| Quick look | Open the page in a new tab | Preview in the hub |
| Broken links | You notice when a click fails | Link checks show problems earlier |

When the bookmark bar is enough
Stick with browser bookmarks if your list is small and personal. One browser. A few daily sites. No need for notes or shared folders. Setup time should stay near zero.
In that case a separate tool is extra work for little gain.
When the bar starts to fail
The list grows. You switch devices. Other people need the same links. Then the usual pain shows up.
Links scatter. Chrome has one copy. Your phone has another. Chat has a third. None of them stay in sync. Titles stay vague, so you reopen half a dozen pages to find the right one. Sharing means an export file or a long paste. Dead links sit in the bar until someone clicks and gets an error.
We wrote more about that in why bookmark managers still matter.
What not24get.me does differently
You save from the browser extension, then open the same library in Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari. You do not rebuild folders for each profile. If you only use one browser vendor, their sync may be enough. not24get.me helps when work spans more than one.
While the page is open, add a short note and a tag or two. Put the link in a folder you will actually open later. Keep lists private until you choose to share. Tips for that habit are in save links with context.
Search uses the words you remember, a project name, a tag, a recent save. Preview the page in the hub. Open Info to check if the link still works, so a broken URL does not wait for a deadline.
When the team needs the same set of links, share a folder instead of pasting the URL into every thread. See how to organize links for your team if you want a simple setup.
How to move over
You can keep the bookmark bar. You do not have to move everything at once.
- Create a free not24get.me account.
- Install the browser extension.
- Import the bookmarks you still care about into a folder.
- Save new pages into not24get.me with a one-line note.
Leave daily sites on the bar. Put the rest, the stuff you need weeks later, alone or with your team, in not24get.me.
