@ThePfromtheO The best @Vivaldi bookmarks feature, IMHO, is the automatic saving of #Description field with the #meta tags from the bookmarked #webpage !

For example, even if i save it quickly, i can easily find again this bookmarked page mediapart.fr/journal/ecologie/, only typing "pesticide" or "a69" in the url bar or bookmark search field 👍
No other browser allows this...

🗨️ For internet users, who believe, a #description of an ongoing crime against humanity is #racism: you are working against int'l law, humanitarian laws and the freedom of expression. You are therefore against every existing basic right, legal right and historical data of humanity.

Now you have two options: educating yourself by reading a book on law, or getting rid of non-intelligent #algorithms.

Option three: Combine option one and two.
