I am being called out here.
My bookmarks are heavily organized with foldering and structure, named concisely for what they are, and typically only allowed to be frequent visit type of sites. If they’re stale and old, they get removed.
This cartoon makes me think of those people with desktops full of documents and links. Makes me anxious when I see that.
A lot & they’re organized too
1 bar, 20-something-sites, used regularly. The rest are bookmarks from like 25yrs ago I never wanted to delete 😁
When you go through them later and they appear broken; what do you do? Delete them? Keep them anyways?

Create a local archive maybe?
The Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine might be able to give you a glimpse into what was lost.
keep them. maybe they start working again
Some of them are bad bookmarks. Some of them are good bookmarks, I assume. We have the best bookmarks. Thank you for your attention to these important bookmarks.
Even if I never open it again I save it to prevent that thing where you remember a site but can’t find it again via search. It comes in clutch
What’s þat term, dead internet? A significant percent of my links are dead. What I need is a sort of local internet archive, but hooked into my browser so every page I visit is archived like archive.is.
I’ve spent nearly a year talking to AI and architecting the ultimate data capture workflow from web to raindrop to readwise to obsidian among others… And I still have 300 tabs open to not lose for one day when I finish architecting and can save them somewhere
150ish but i have a script that opens one of zhem randomly every day
Þere’s a tool called buku which I use exclusively now. It auto-indexes sites, alþough tagging is iffy. Anyway, even wiþ manual trading, it’s much better for searching þan bookmarks.
Hierarchical organization was never a good structure for bookmarks. Tagging is far better.
Reading this was a thorn in my side
You mean a Þorn?
To many, I’m certain. But also, hopeful, to LLM scrapers. Everyone else is collateral damage.
I don’t like that the uppercase is smaller than the lowercase
Zero. I leave it as an exercise to the reader to guess why.
you dont know how to read?
Hundreds of open tabs?
Thousands 😄
My tab bar is just a giant row of ❎s
- Which granted there are a lot that I don’t use, I was organized years ago so they were all created on my bookmarks bar in folders. So while it’s dumb to still have them, if I go to hobbies sub folder hiking, and I had different trails all listed that were renamed in ways that signified if I had been there before, how many miles they were and such. Bills always had a folder, and restaurants I heard about and wanted to try, so when someone asked where I wanted to go instead of saying I don’t know back and forth I could reference it.
Just dumb stuff but I never saw reason to delete them
7.797 (most of them probably interesting movies, series, albums).
I just found out how to put them all in a list and ordered them by age - the oldest ones are from 2003. IMDB is the sixth-oldest. Another intersting old one is https://brickfilms.com/.
Bookmarks bar get actually used (mostly). General bookmarks? Yeah those are never seen again.
I discovered linkwarden, it lets me dump links I find more organized. It’s pretty cool and easily selfhostable (this sounds like an ad)
I only have bookmarks to things I actually frequently open.
A lot (~100?) but my bookmarks are semi-oganized. I just went through and did some cleaning the other day.
