My bookmarks got to be too many and basically the whole system became unusable. Now I just leave the tab open so I can “come back to it later”™.
I’m started to get to a point where I have too many tabs open and I can’t find what I want… I might have to find the next level to migrate to soon.
The TreeStyleTab add-on lets you deal with a lot more open tabs before it becomes untenable
Next level is open new windows? The level after moving them to different screens?
Good news everyone! I discovered grouping tabs! I’m sure this won’t cause a world-wide shortage of available RAM as I consolidated my tabs into groups color coded by importance and move forward under this new, more efficient course of action.
Who needs bookmarks when you’ve got tabs?
Why would I want it as a tab?
Maybe it’s a page about boobies ?
then it would get visited more often
We see those jokes around, but I have seen a guy in real life that keeps SEVERAL tabs open and uses it as some sort of storage. He does that and then goes into every tech conversation to say that 16gb is “absolutely trash” nowadays, and that we need like at least 64gb. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
He also does everything online while logged in on google and on every online service possible. Looking at his browser giver me some unexplainable agony.
Fewer calories.
Would you prefer it as a suppository?
Even if I never open it again I save it to prevent that thing where you remember a site but can’t find it again via search. It comes in clutch
What’s þat term, dead internet? A significant percent of my links are dead. What I need is a sort of local internet archive, but hooked into my browser so every page I visit is archived like archive.is.
I’ve spent nearly a year talking to AI and architecting the ultimate data capture workflow from web to raindrop to readwise to obsidian among others… And I still have 300 tabs open to not lose for one day when I finish architecting and can save them somewhere
Do you have some takeaways, especially for Obsidian? Have you found a good way to share content you discover on your phone indirectly to obsidian, without much manual work? Thanks in advance!
My bookmarks are heavily organized, named concisely for what they are, amd typically only allowed to be frequent visit type of sites. If they’re stale and old, they get removed.
This cartoon makes me think of those people with desktops full of documents and links. Makes me anxious when I see that.
Same, G-Suite stuff, Sports Stuff, Money Stuff is the largest one, work stuff, DND stuff, insurance bullshit, kid stuff, high seas stuff, and then some misc at the end, but it gets sorted pretty regularly.
insurance bullshit, kid stuff
I read the rest of the list just fine, but shifted the comma over one word to the left for this. Twas amusing.
Ha, nah this is actual important kid stuff, not Roblox and YouTube.
What? You don’t just have them all left open as tabs?
That’s worse than the toolbar hell people installed onto their browsers in the 2000s. I will never forget my great-aunt telling me that her grandkids broke her computer and made the Internet slow but wouldn’t uninstall all the toolbars and emoticons she had. Truly a PEBKAC error.
Truly PEBKAC, ID10T, or a layer 8 problem.
That URL should be glad I didn’t send it to OneTab
If I bookmark something that I actually want to use, then it has to go on the bookmark bar. If it goes into the folder, it will rot until the end of time.
When i bookmark something, it’s gone. I still sometimes do it, but i think that if i forget it, it can’t be that important.
This is what I used Pocket for. And when it shut down, I didn’t even export my data…
Thanks for reminding me lol
And I thinks that’s still possible until September or so
people just be calling me out man…
Zero. I leave it as an exercise to the reader to guess why.
you dont know how to read?
When you go through them later and they appear broken; what do you do? Delete them? Keep them anyways?
The Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine might be able to give you a glimpse into what was lost.

https://github.com/linkwarden/linkwarden
Create a local archive maybe?
Linkwarden works quite well with its archiving features. Highly recommend.
This looks really good. I’m gonna bookmark that and check it out later.
I discovered linkwarden, it lets me dump links I find more organized. It’s pretty cool and easily selfhostable (this sounds like an ad)
Thankfully, I have them tagged, though they’re all in the “Other Bookmarks” folder.
Over 300. I can’t actually count or sort through them.
