===================================
also, take a look at what google sent [?]

the url was removed from favorites, but google provided the url again.
it would be trivial to copypasta to an external file.

You can argue about whether or not this was a reasonable action, but, if it was an unreasonable action, then I think that this is not really a reasonable expectation for mitigation. Presumably, at least some people have lots of links affected.
- rolph 3y agoim thinking its ineffective if the goal is to eliminate user access, but probably effective if goggle is interested in not being an avenue for sharing 'pirate' urls
- ajacksified 3y agoLet's go ahead and ban pen and paper, typewriters, email, and unregulated verbal speech too, to make sure they aren't avenues for sharing pirate urls.
- SoftTalker 3y agoFor many years my browser home page has been a local file named "home.html" I edit that file to include commonly used links and links I want to remember. A new bookmark is simply copying the URL and then in a shell: echo '<paste>' >>~/home.html. I go in periodically and organize. None if this depends on any functionality in the browser, and it is usable in any browser from Chrome to Firefox to Lynx.
- shahar2k 3y agocould even include something like a single page self editing wiki as your home page (like tiddlywiki)
- tazjin 3y agoThis is just great. Thanks for the idea.

- notpachet 3y agoJust glomming on to say that this is a brilliant idea. I am kicking myself for not having thought of this years ago!
- SoftTalker 3y agoIt is easy and simple. If you want to share between computers, keep it in github or just sync it online somewhere. That's good anyway in case you accidentally clobber it. And maybe set "noclobber" in your shell.
- slashdev 3y agoI love this idea!
- netmare 3y agoI remember doing this years ago, but it longer works on Firefox out of the box. Setting a custom page for a new tab requires an extension. Apparently, that's for security reasons: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1092024 https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1092024
- bb88 3y agoThe original Netscape Navigator circa 1994ish saved it's bookmarks in bookmarks.html.
