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.
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 tried a few years ago to be smarter about it and instead of bookmarking I'd schedule-send myself an email with the link to the article to force myself to read it when I have time. It worked for a while until it didn't and my email box is now littered with hundreds of "[MUST READ]" unread emails 👀
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. 😅
Me at work when I bookmark anything I think may be useful for reference. I have to go through my bookmarks every so often because I accumulate so goddamn many.
I only add things to the bookmarks bar at the top so I see them and when I open a new tab they're there waiting for me. I think I only have 5 and I add and remove them so the bar doesn't get full
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.
