I make a folder in desktop and put the bookmark/website shortcut
inside. When I'm done , delete it. Amazon also has a similar option called save for later. It will notify you if/when prices for the saved item changes.

Add to cart, then click "Save for Later"
I have ~ 100 items in my "save for later" shopping cart.

There is a function called save for later, but you have to put it in cart first, then go to cart and move it to save for later.
I have to use that constantly because my wife doesn't understand carts. She uses my login and just order without verifying what is in the cart

Also if you have some items in your cart and you're not ready to buy them yet, but there is 1 item you know you want right away... the "Buy now" option will buy just that single item and ignore the remainder in the cart (I don't use this often, but sometimes useful when stuff hasn't been moved to "Save for later" yet).
... why not just use the lists functionality?
People keep stuff in their carts they're not actively buying?

This. Make an Amazon shopping list and add items to it as you find them for later purchase.

I currently have 540 items saved in my cart. About 530 of them are items saved by my wife. My saved cart became messy once my wife started to use my Amazon account after hers got accidentally deleted. I have old grandfathered Prime account I'm piggybacking for free so I have to put up with the inconvenience of sharing my Prime account with my wife unless I want to pay for Prime.

The lists are great. You can make several just for yourself (say to keep all computer build components together). You can make lists for gifts (what you want for baby showers, wedding registries, etc). I use them all the time. Here is the direct link: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/intro
However, I also keep stuff in my cart. Mostly I use it for something that I will buy, don't need right away, and will wait until I get free shipping or the price drops. Waiting for free shipping is for those few of us who still don't pay for Amazon prime. The price drop is because Amazon notifies you that a price in your cart drops and then I buy.
Heck I even have one item in my cart, the Necronomnomnom. I just need to wait for $7.42 more stuff until I order it. The book looks great: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1682684385/
Yeah, I have lists setup by categories. This doesn't prevent my wife from simply clicking on 'save for later'. Then I get stupid notices about a price change in my cart because the save for later items count as in the cart

Choosing the "save for later" link removes the item(s) selected from the cart to a list that is visible by simply by scrolling down while in the shopping cart.
It's extremely easy.

Classic first-world problem!

We get it you are rich and can afford Prime.
Just Kidding.I too share my online shopping accounts with my wife. On top of that after fraud issues we both get emails for online purchases so surprise gifts are not surprises anymore.

Pro-tip: You don't HAVE to use your account to order from Amazon.
(It's also a trivial matter to make a second account with a different email .... there's no excuses for a blown surprise gift beyond laziness)

Less of a priority if you are the only person using the account.... key for organization if the account is shared though!
I usually just go with "save for later" then every few months pare down the saved items since it's just me.

I wish I was rich enough to afford Prime. Luckily my sister is so I've been piggybacking for free since I'm grandfathered under the old policy. If I ever lost the grandfathered status, I don't know what I would do. I would hate to pay for Prime.We get it you are rich and can afford Prime.

Prime is not that big of a deal to skip. It is very easy to find items to buy when you want something that is less than $25.

Dude make up your mind ..... are you wealthier then the "dreams of Avarice" courtesy of your Tesla stock or not?
(seriously only the "McMansion" crowd thinks bragging about having $ even indirectly is cool)

Just looked…I’ve got exactly 587 saved-for-later items. It tops out at 600…at least that was the limit of saved items. Once hit 600, nothing else will save.
Ask me how I know. 🤪

"Stupid"? They've notified me of worthwhile price drops in the past, and saved me some cash on an item... that's part of why I keep some items in my "Save for Later" list versus a shopping list.Yeah, I have lists setup by categories.

This is what the Wish List option is for.
For example, here is my wish list I did for my gaming PC last year:
