I am a less is more kind of person, and since I recently switched back to Mozilla Firefox I decided it was a good time to clean up and organize my bookmarks. I have collected a lot of bookmarks over the years and while I have probably deleted bookmarks before, this time I did a major cleanup. I do not need all these bookmarks, but there are cool pages that I would want people to know about.

Here is the cool list! I hope some of these links can be useful.
