Who needs bookmarks when you've got tabs?

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

Why would I want it as a tab?

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 1 points 2 minutes ago

Fewer calories.

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Maybe it's a page about boobies ?

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 hour ago

5 right now

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 2 points 2 hours ago

Over 300. I can't actually count or sort through them.

[–] raptir@mander.xyz 5 points 3 hours ago

This is what I used Pocket for. And when it shut down, I didn't even export my data...

[–] callyral@pawb.social 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Thankfully, I have them tagged, though they're all in the "Other Bookmarks" folder.

[–] Sunsofold@lemmings.world 9 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

What? You don't just have them all left open as tabs?

I don't use bookmark bar for that but rather the folders

[–] JadenSmith@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 hours ago

I recently reinstalled a clean OS, and forgot to back up my bookmarks despite backing up everything else.

Then I tried to remember what I bookmarked, and I just can't for the life of me recall a single site in that folder.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

Problem is that I bookmark a site, forget I found a site, go search for a similar thing 6 months later, boomarking the same site (because the url changed slightly from the last visit) or bookmarking a similar one. Repeat.

My bookmarks are heavily organized with foldering and structure, named concisely for what they are, and 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.

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] TempermentalAnomaly@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

Ha, nah this is actual important kid stuff, not Roblox and YouTube.

[–] M137@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

19,497

That's after removing a whole lot that was older than 10 years.

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 1 points 4 hours ago

Some of them are already 404

...Mine are spread across four browsers.

And... backups from old browsers.

Is this a neurodivergence meme? It feels like a neurodivergence meme.

Hoarding, knowledge hoarding

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

I am being called out here.

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 29 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (2 children)

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

When you go through them later and they appear broken; what do you do? Delete them? Keep them anyways?

https://github.com/linkwarden/linkwarden

Linkwarden works quite well with its archiving features. Highly recommend.

[–] twack@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

This looks really good. I'm gonna bookmark that and check it out later.

[–] Someonelol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 10 hours ago

The Internet Archive's Wayback Machine might be able to give you a glimpse into what was lost.

[–] Lauchmelder@feddit.org 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

keep them. maybe they start working again

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 4 points 10 hours ago

Some of them are bad bookmarks. Some of them are good bookmarks, I assume. We have the best bookmarks. Thank you for your attention to these important bookmarks.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 19 points 13 hours ago
[–] zxqwas@lemmy.world 8 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Zero. I leave it as an exercise to the reader to guess why.

My tab bar is just a giant row of ❎s

[–] phonics@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

[–] Marty_TF@lemmy.zip 5 points 11 hours ago

150ish but i have a script that opens one of zhem randomly every day

[–] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 1 points 8 hours ago

1 bar, 20-something-sites, used regularly. The rest are bookmarks from like 25yrs ago I never wanted to delete 😁

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (1 children)
  1. Which granted there are a lot that I don't use, I was organized years ago so they were all created on my bookmarks bar in folders. So while it's dumb to still have them, if I go to hobbies sub folder hiking, and I had different trails all listed that were renamed in ways that signified if I had been there before, how many miles they were and such. Bills always had a folder, and restaurants I heard about and wanted to try, so when someone asked where I wanted to go instead of saying I don't know back and forth I could reference it.

Just dumb stuff but I never saw reason to delete them

[–] homoludens@feddit.org 2 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

7.797 (most of them probably interesting movies, series, albums).

I just found out how to put them all in a list and ordered them by age - the oldest ones are from 2003. IMDB is the sixth-oldest. Another intersting old one is https://brickfilms.com/.

[–] greenskye@lemmy.zip 7 points 13 hours ago

Bookmarks bar get actually used (mostly). General bookmarks? Yeah those are never seen again.

[–] Xylight@lemdro.id 6 points 13 hours ago

I discovered linkwarden, it lets me dump links I find more organized. It's pretty cool and easily selfhostable (this sounds like an ad)
