We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

Why not dump all in an excel? You can create easily filters to tag them. You could also let websites get pinged (and if dead you know it). 200.000 records even millions while it's not a DB, isn't a problem.
Thought about this, but while browsing the web its not possible to know whether or not a link is backed up light? Also, an inbuilt bookmark manager in the web browser is very, very convenient in terms of backing up links, being able to identify them via favicons, being able to know which link is backed up by just looking at the 'highlighted' star or bookmark icon, etc.
