Interesting comments here. I’ll share my process. I browse the web in incognito (private) exclusively. If there’s something I want to come back to later, I copy paste the URL into a non private window so that it becomes part of history. So, my history is filled with things I plan to come back to. Then, I bookmark things that I need to come back to more than once.
Edit: should have been a reply to “just keep the tab open”… Anyways, just keep the tab open. Maybe you stumble upon it again when closing some urelated tabs.
I still have tabs open from when I researched for my paper. That was… some years ago. It must be more than 3k open at this point since it was 2k already some time ago.
Fun fact: firefox many moons ago would take a veeery long time to open. That has been fixed for quite some time now. Also, I think they stopped bombarding DNS queries for every open tab… Fun times when you opened firefox and nothing would work for some time because the DNS servers temporarily blocked you.
I usually open them twice… The first time, and bookmark it. Then the Second time a year or two later, when I’m trying to clean out my bookmarks wondering why I saved it in the first place.
Is this specifically an Emacs thing, like for people who basically use Emacs as their operating system? It sounds interesting, but that’s all I’m seeing when I search for “org mode.” Frankly, Emacs intimidates me.
I’ve started sending things to myself in email. That way I never look at them, but it doesn’t free up my precious cloud storage space when I have to reformat my hard drive.
on each device i have a bookmarks folder like “ARCHIVE” or “stuff”, so these whimsy bookmarks don’t interfere with my actual bookmarks i need for work, games, shopping, etc. 😅
