Several months ago I got rid of 600+ browser tabs.
Well, not completely. Some 50 of them went to bookmarks.
But I'd say start deleting based on the following question: "am I willing to go through this link, with 100% of the attention needed to make use of it, in my free time later today?".
If you answer "no" then the chances are at least 90% that you will not want to next week, next month, next year.
I was hoarding so much virtual stuff and one day I just realized that I'll never consume it. I deleted at least 50% of my bookmarks and I almost don't touch them nowadays (I am also looking into deleting more of them in the future). I figured I'll very sparingly grow them and only when I am absolutely certain I'll need the content for my future work or hobbies.
And nowadays I have a private Telegram channel where I post things for review no more than a month from now. And I ruthlessly delete links from it if I haven't visited them in the last month. Think of it as a short-lived Kafka queue. :)
In the end it all boils down to how honest you are with yourself. So be more honest with yourself and you'll very easily find a way to get rid of the dead weight.
