I have tabs from like 6 months ago. Modern browsers have gotten pretty good at hibernating unused tabs and restore when needed. And this website is extremely light, it gets restored in milliseconds.


I hording my tab in case I need them later (I don't, 99% of the case)

but I always have sense of fear that I might need it someday


Every 3-6 months I purge all my tabs, but always dump all URLs to an html file in case I will need them in the future. You never know!


I do that too but instead of html, I store them on discord and obsidian text file (double back up)

but I still keep it on my browser, maybe someday I would like to fetch LLM and describe my interest over time


That is just called your browser history?


The browser history contains a lot of junk and I don't want that saved forever. Curated tab history is a bit different. It's stupid for sure, but also a bit comforting to keep the most important articles and such. For anything I really care about, there's always ArchiveBox.


Bookmark?


Yes but why
