Manage Bookmarks in DuckDuckGo

I am using duckduckgo as my primary browser on my new laptop running WIN11. After a few weeks, I need to organize my bookmarks. Delete unwanted ones, group related ones together, priority sites at top, etc.
A quick search turns up many posts complaining of no way to do this. WTF? Surely thee is a way to organize, but how? I have poked around looking for a while, now I ask the forum. Any ideas?
 
It very easy to organize your bookmarks in duckduckgo. You can right click, click on delete. There is a manage bookmark option so you can create folders and move bookmarks into a folder if you wish. I don't use it but I just downloaded it and saw it right away. If you right click on any bookmark in your bookmark bar the last option is manage bookmarks. It's pretty much similar to any other normal browser.
 
I'll have to figure out how to right click on my touch pad. 2 finger tap does nothing when in bookmarks. And another weird thing, when the 2 finger tap works, it sometimes brings up a list of actions that includes delete, other times it brings up a different list that has no delete option until I click "more options". Why do they make me go thru an extra step sometimes? I am still learning how to use a laptop, very different from my previous 7 computers. I can be typing, and when I hit the space bar it jumps me down the screen about a page or two. And just now I was typing this reply and suddenly the bowser closed. No clue what I did, maybe waved my finger near the touch pad...
Thx for the reply, I will search how to do the keyboard commands and maybe print the list.
 
The bottom of your touchpad should still have the left click and right click options, as thats the only way to navigate pc's. However, sometimes touchpads can be very sensitive so you have to turn down the sensitivity on it or hook up a usb/wireless mouse. I hate touchpads, kinda why I won't ever get another laptop.

What exact model of laptop do you have?
 
HP Pavilion 16t-af000 16". I know I need to watch the tutorials and read the directions. It was already ordered when we had a tornado that wiped out the utility poles and wires so I had no electricity, cable or internet when the package arrived. A soon as that was up and running I was using the laptop full time trying to contact repair people and insurance company, had no time to learn how the new computer works. Only just now getting around to doing what I would have done as soon as I opened the package in normal circumstances. It's like the airplane was on fire so I jumped, and plan to take parachute lesson later... I considered ordering mouse with it but did not until I could explore whether my old wireless mouse was compatible. Not. May get a mouse yet, but trying to master the touchpad. I wish it was not right where I rest my hand while typing. All in all I like the laptop choice, but have had desktop PCs since my 1st 386 machine in the late 80s and feel like I am learning a new language. I don't think I have ever heard about "the bottom of the touchpad" before, probably one of those things that everybody knows if they went to school since the mid 70s. I do appreciate the help.
 
Actually, my original post was based on what turned out to be a simple mater of reading the instructions that came with my laptop. I was not aware of the 2-finger tap and other touchpad motions that were clearly described on a diagram that I had inadvertently put away with the receipt for the laptop. I am a veteran hacker, and instructions were never part of my learning curve back in the 1980s when I got my first 386 IBM clone computer. It had a 44meg hard drive, but it allowed me to send and receive faxes and was a tax deduction. I was fluent in DOS and built my own machines after that first one became obsolete, and old habits die hard.
And, FelixCat, Thank you for your concern and your undoubtedly sound advice. I suspect you are right in that a "deleted" bookmark is still in my computer, probably hiding in the registry. I never go "behind the curtain" any more and have no clue how to access the OS these days. Anyone snooping around my search history or old bookmarks would surely think they had found a Terrorist Pervert Criminal Maniac of the highest order. And they have not yet seen my physical library...
