Missing or deleted safari favorites folder

I was arranging my safari favorites file folders on my iPhone, and one disappeared. Perhaps it accidentally deleted, as they can accidentally be deleted so easily. I don’t think that’s what I did- it was more like it vanished as I was dragging it up higher in the list. I have looked inside every single folder for it. From my lengthy non-expert attempts to seek help online on how to find it recover jt- it seems it’s a simple fix if you sign into your icloud on a Mac or pc - I have access to neither. I did look at the most web based icloud account info on my iPhone I could find, and also tried signing in on a non-Apple tablet browser. Only to find a big frown face telling me it’s not supported for viewing your icloud. Please advise. Aldo please advise if I’d be better off using a different browser on my iPhone and which to try. I need to keep saved websites saved and organized especially for meducal travel and cancer care. Thanks.

Hello startrailz,

Being able to restore Safari bookmarks is important and you've come to a great place for help! You're on the right track with wanting to visit the iCloud website via a tablet or computer, and follow the steps in the "Restore your Safari bookmarks and reading list on iCloud.com" section of the following article.

Set up iCloud for Safari on all your devices

To try those steps, you would need access to a web browser on a supported device. If you're able to borrow a friend or family members device, that would be the right next step. If you didn't have iCloud enabled previously and backed up your iPhone to iCloud, you may be able to restore to the backup to recover the deleted bookmark. When restoring to a backup, the content that was on your device at the time of the backup would appear. Any content not synced to iCloud or included in the backup wouldn't return to your device. To clarify, any content you've added to your device from the date of the backup to now would be lost. You can find the steps for restoring to a backup in the following article.

Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup

Take care!
