We’re all a little guilty of letting our laptops pile up with useless information, and our Chrome bookmark pages can be great examples of that.
It’s easy to let your bookmarks get overcrowded, with links to old holiday destinations or various bus routes sitting in your bookmarks bar for months on end, taking up valuable space that could be better used on other things.
