    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.

    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.

        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.

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

        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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

    …Mine are spread across four browsers.

    And… backups from old browsers.

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