I use plaintext Markdown files to copy / pate interested links and some parts of content. This is just a text file so I can easily search a link using grep or whatever text editor.
Do you find any need for organizing your files, or is searching that effective?
I use put all meaningfull links into
tmp.md. On android, I use “share” feature of Firefox to Markor app. The link is autogenerate and I have only to add some notes to myself. Here an example.- [duck duck go](https://duckduckgo.com/), an interessing browser #privacywhen I have some times, I reorganise theses links into more specific files like “privacy.md”.
When thematic grow, I can consolidate this to build an intrrssing text, post or idea.
This is interesting - one solid benefit over Memex is that it isn’t an extension, so this workflow can be adjusted for any browser. I could use it while browsing on Tor and I don’t need to worry about being fingerprinted.
This looks pretty interesting. I’ve looked for annotation extensions in the past but they were too inconvenient to use and untrustworthy for privacy.
Edit: I’ve looked at their simplified privacy policy. I really like that they’ve limited how much money investors can make, and funds their company not by selling privacy but through their own revenue, grants, and steward ownership.
