That is what bookmarks are for.
- TeMPOraL 2y agoThat's what they would be if the web continued to consist of only static documents, as it used to in 1991. Unfortunately, people figured they can run a program on each request and feed its stdout to client browser, ruining bookmarks in the process. Later, they figured they could run code client-side, adding final nail to the coffin of browser bookmarks. Bookmarks suck at being bookmarks because they're only an URL in a database. However the site looked like when you saved the bookmark, it's unlikely it'll look the same when you visit (you lose scroll position for starters) - hell, it may not exist at all anymore. Tabs keep state. That's what makes them good at being bookmarks. You switch to the tab, you see the site as it was when you left it before; you don't lose any state (at least within hours to days of a single session; tab unloading and session save/restore complicates this, but they still restore more state than normal bookmarks do).
