Is it safe to bookmark porn? The privacy risks, and a safer way

Bookmarking porn in your browser is convenient, but it is rarely private. Browser bookmarks sync to every device signed into the same account, surface in the address bar as you type, and sit in the same list anyone can open. If privacy matters to you, a browser bookmark is the wrong place to keep adult videos. A private, separate library is the safer way.

Why are browser bookmarks a privacy risk?

Three reasons. First, sync: if your browser is signed in, your bookmarks copy to your phone, laptop and any shared computer automatically. Second, autocomplete: the address bar suggests bookmarked URLs as you type, so a saved title can pop up in front of anyone nearby. Third, they are mixed in with everything else, so whoever opens your bookmarks menu sees them next to your bank and your email.

Does incognito or private browsing help?

Not for saved videos. Private windows avoid saving history, but they also do not save bookmarks, so there is nothing to come back to. The moment you bookmark something to keep it, it leaves the private window and joins your normal, synced bookmark list. Private browsing solves the wrong half of the problem.

What is the safer way to save adult videos?

Keep them in a library that is separate from your browser and private by default. PornLibrary stores your saved videos in a per-user space isolated by row-level security, so no one else can see your library, and it is not tied to any site's account. You still get the title, preview and tags automatically, without the sync-and-autocomplete exposure of browser bookmarks. See how it stacks up against browser favorites.

How do I move off browser bookmarks?

You do not have to start over. Import your existing bookmarks, let automatic extraction fill in the details, and organize with collections and tags. Everything about how we handle your data is on the privacy page.
