OK, that's an argument for no bookmarks in webadmin. My point was for
client-side vs. server-side webadmin bookmarks.

Actually, my point is also valid for webadmin bookmarks vs. browser
bookmarks - imagine you have to do something urgent and the only thing
is say private browser tab of your colleaugues machine. With webadmin
bookmarks, you have everything at hand. With browser-based bookmarks,
you essentially lose them till you come to some sync'd browser.
