    Look again amigo, I am sad to say that a huge portion of those are dead links now which exist only in your memory. It’s like getting internet blueballs when you click on something you were once excited about and now it redirects to some shitty hosting service page or a 404 page with a cutsie image and caption. If you want to really keep something, you have to save the page itself or make a pdf of it.

      Same here, I spent so much time on that site. It was my go-to when I needed to kill some time or procrastinate.

      I’d clear it out, but there’s no function to do so.

      Thanks Google, I really love seeing shit I labelled as “Watch Later” in my home feed from a decade ago.

      I stopped doing that, half of the times the videos stopped being available. Fuck that.

      If I really want something I save it to disk as soon as possible.

      My watch later is so big; it breaks whenever I add a new video. I have to manually go into the playlist, change it from recently added to a different listing order, then back to recently added for it to show anything I’ve added since the last time I’ve done this.

        I always wondered why I would get some old stuff recommended. Turns out they come from my “watch later” list. Kinda glad I went through this process.

    I have so many tabs open on Firefox mobile that it stopped counting and now has an infinity symbol, I think it’s like 300 by now

    however on desktop I have like 2 open. At most I’ll have like 20 of the same video game wiki but will close them whenever

      I just have mine set to close unopened tabs in a week. That way I don’t feel bad about having to close them

      I like how Chrome just does :D once you have too many open.

    The trick is starting a community and then posting them there for meaningless internet points

    Been maintaining a steady set of bookmarks since whenever Foxmarks first came out. I dunno I search through them fairly frequently for stuff that I can’t remember well enough to Google.
