    I currently have 41 tabs open in Chrome for interesting links that I want to go back to. I rarely do except to look at a link to see if I want to remove it and don't, putting it back on the "look at later" list. Sometimes (due to my stupidity, not the Chrome browser or OneTab), I lose the links. I feel sad for a few minutes then discover I don't really care. Sometimes I copy all the links to a "interesting links.txt" file. Not sure where I put the file, so I have several. But I never look at them anyways. Is there a pill I can take to correct this behavior? [edit] If you ask, here's some I'll share: [Tim Stoev](https://plus.google.com/+TimStoev) cool site of cool stuff.

    I bookmarked your post, so I can refer back to the links at a later time. By this afternoon, I will have forgotten I did this. Next week I will be searching with Google for the information contained in the links I just bookmarked. :sigh:

        I caught myself doing this many years ago and decided to stop because it became a pain to move the links between work and home. I then started bookmarking them and then I ran into the previous problem again so I started compiling the bookmarks into simple webpages. That's what I do now. If I find a link that is interesting I copy and paste it into my little webpage and I keep them in a path that I backup to my flashdrive and that has simplified things for me considerably. It turns out I have been doing this kind of thing for almost twenty years now. Imagine my surprise when I get on W10 machine for the first time and aim Edge at my little webpage and does not render correctly. This is a simple HTML file that has a table with two columns, a banner image, and a background image and it will not render at all.

              I've come to the realization that some people use tabs like I use bookmarks. I'd be just as bad (keeping lots of tabs opened), except that I've had browsers crash on me so often that it's not worth "keeping a tab opened" be the only way I can track back where I was and what I was doing. Of course browsers nowadays try to detect crashes and offer to restore everything, but oftentimes they come back with a login prompt, which will log you in but might not bring you back to where you were anyway.

                    Isn't it completely annoying how bookmarks work completely differently in a different browser. Seriously since a previous version of IE not sure which one. I have completely given up on bookmarks/favorites as a way of keeping track of sites. I have a list of old favorites from like 8 years ago that gets imported in each new browser install. I never use any of them anymore. Sometimes when I go to one of them it is a dead link or dead site. geocities anyone. I sometimes copy and paste into a OneNote notebook for reading later and weirdly enough I sometimes do read them at night when I need ot go to sleep. Yep cannot use bookmarks at all.

                        I think the solution to all your problems is Internet Explorer 6, since it has no tabs. :-\

                          I currently have 41 tabs open in Chrome for interesting links that I want to go back to. I rarely do except to look at a link to see if I want to remove it and don't, putting it back on the "look at later" list. Sometimes (due to my stupidity, not the Chrome browser or OneTab), I lose the links. I feel sad for a few minutes then discover I don't really care. Sometimes I copy all the links to a "interesting links.txt" file. Not sure where I put the file, so I have several. But I never look at them anyways.

                            Let me know if you find the pill. At this moment I have managed to bring down the tab count on my Firefox from over 1000 to 628. It's so easy to open links on a new Tab... If I close and reopen Firefox it only loads the tabs on demand so the memory issue is minimised... I find it hard to close Tabs without a overall look. I think I need professional help.

                              As I was reading through the article you linked to, I thought of the solution - crowdsource people to read the pages for you & tell you if they're useful/interesting or not! And that link? Basically telling you how brilliant Racket (i.e. Scheme/Lisp) is for embedding domain specific languages, because it's such a malleable language (basically because the syntax is very regular and simple). And macros. Always the macros with Lisp... So that's got you started with the crowdsourcing thing ;-)

                                    I do the same thing. Sometimes I even go so far as to copy them into an email and send them to myself with a subject along the lines of "Interesting, read these!" And you guessed it, never do. At some point I mark the mail as read/done using Inbox. At the moment, I don't have anything interesting open, although HTC announcing the first native blockchain phone[^] makes me scratch my head. I think they are just going with the hype for publicity.

                                      This of it as using a .txt file that you never lose. The best is when you finally get time to go back and dig through your old bookmarks and they don't work anymore because the website has been changed or is no longer around. :laugh:

                                        I currently have 41 tabs open in Chrome for interesting links that I want to go back to. I rarely do except to look at a link to see if I want to remove it and don't, putting it back on the "look at later" list. Sometimes (due to my stupidity, not the Chrome browser or OneTab), I lose the links. I feel sad for a few minutes then discover I don't really care. Sometimes I copy all the links to a "interesting links.txt" file. Not sure where I put the file, so I have several. But I never look at them anyways. Is there a pill I can take to correct this behavior? [edit] If you ask, here's some I'll share: [Tim Stoev](https://plus.google.com/+TimStoev) cool site of cool stuff.

                                        Tabs of Tabs, you can also share it, example: OneTab shared tabs[^] OneTab extension for Google Chrome and Firefox - save up to 95% memory and reduce tab clutter[^]

                                          I have this exact same problem :) Firefox has a "Send Tab" feature that I have yet to try. Useful to send the link to your mobile for later reading.
