I realized that I never go back to my bookmarks and if I really wanted to find something again I usually am able to. I came to the same realization with hoarding movies / tv shows.
- bombcar 4y agoThe only bookmarks I use are to particular pages on particular systems that I need to reference relatively often and navigating to them is annoying. Otherwise, my bookmarks are the history in the browser - "ne" is hacker news, "yo" is YouTube, etc.
- jeffwask 4y agoThis is the state I am rapidly approaching. Outside of Toolbar quick access stuff I find I always search or it pops up in history suggestions before I search
- baal80spam 4y agoThis is great until you need to reinstall the OS/browser and suddenly everything you typed in the omnibar is gone.
- jeffwask 4y agoyeah but I also feel like the occasional purge isn't the worst thing
- hn_version_0023 4y agoI've also come to this realization. It was one of the more freeing realizations I've had, along with "I don't have to save every email I've ever received for all time". The weight off my mind from skipping the maintenance, care, and feeding of various digital libraries is considerable, and I recommend it to stressed out friends & family.
- imiric 4y agoAs a counterpoint, I don't go to my bookmarks often, but when I do, it's invaluable, and I'd feel lost without them. Especially with tags, I can quickly find a number of things I find/found interesting just by using one or two tags. I agree about hoarding media, though. But I still like to have metadata on content I want to watch, and content I've watched and what I thought about it.
