I do that too! I have a channel in IRC called #acdw-bookmarks that I’ve /away’d from so much the original links are lost waay far back in the scrollback, lol.
Oh and I email myself lists of links. And I write myself notes. It’s ridiculous. I should make a webpage for myself that I can send links to that just collects 'em and shows everyone all the shit I don’t read.
You could try something like Wallabag. I used Pocket for a long time to support Firefox, but I recently switched to open source self-hosted alternatives.
I tried self hosting Wallabag on a Pi Model 3B+ but doesn’t seem like they support ARM 32 bits. maybe they’ve changed that. I’m eager for archiving my stuff in it.
Most of the links I’ll want to save are recipes, so I use Nextcloud cookbook for that. For just normal links, I just leave them open and use the Firefox mobile app to send them to my desktop if I found them on mobile.
I might have just found an amazing combo for my browsing and bookmarking requirements and fantasies. Thanks to your comment, I tried using SessionSync extension together with my xBrowserSync setup, and it works marvellously. It allows me now to quickly share and sync bookmarks as well as opened tabs while having everything backed up and available at all times on all of my devices. You can search for bookmarks and the opened tabs saved with SessionSync simultaneously. Thanks to any bookmark manager and SessionSync bookmark format, one can easily manage and arrange tabs and move them between bookmark hierarchy, postponed and saved tabs and sessions, and actual opened tabs, while still having the option of saving and opening different tabs presets (SessionSync sessions) saved as bookmarks in a single session (bookmark folder). It should be as secure as one can get too as xBrowserSync encrypts your bookmarks (together with SessionSync sessions) when sending them to syncing instances (which can be self-hosted, or one can use one of the public instances for free because nobody but you can decrypt your synced data anyway — at least shouldn’t be AFAIK). I must do a lot of testing and experimenting, but this might be something I have always wanted yet never was able to achieve with the browser functions and extensions I had at hand… This one looks promising. Thank you for mentioning SessionSync :red heart: Maybe I won’t need to have 100+ tabs opened on every browser all the time now.
For long term that I may or may not ever read I use Pocket. For things I want to read later in the same day or the next day I sync the tab from Firefox mobile to desktop so next time I’m on the computer what I want to read appears automatically (and if I’m still interested I read it, otherwise I just close the tab).
I use to put all meaningful links into tmp.md. On android, I use “share” feature of Firefox to Markor app. The link is autogenerated and I have only to add some notes to myself. Here an example.
- [duck duck go](https://duckduckgo.com/), an interessing browser #privacy
when I have some time, I read it and reorganize these links into more specific files like privacy.md.
When thematic grow, I can consolidate this to build an intrrssing text, post or idea.
That’s actually a great use of Markor, I’d say. And it saves a lot of time too, when you want to operate on a strictly text file approach. Auto-generation of links seems to really fit the needs here.

Using self hosting Wallabag (clone open of pocket)

It’s a website where you store all your bookmarks. You organise them using tags. You can have a one-click “add bookmark” thing in your browsers.
I use pocket, it’s pretty great for this case and to discover similar interests, you just need a Firefox account and it’s already integrated.
I bookmark 'em and never look at 'em again

You can’t just expose my browsing habits like that :O

Leave the tab open. Sometimes I’ll write it on cryptpad if I need to share it between computers

Oh, I know, I don’t particularly like it, and browsers don’t let go of the memory, but that’s what I do.
