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.

You can still find a lot of now dead pages on archive.org or archive.is

My YouTube “watch later” list is about the same.

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’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 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.

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

Bookmarks are nice just for autocomplete

History serves the same purpose for me.

True, but there are plenty of sites I visit less frequently than I clear my history.

Fair. I rarely clear my history, and my history and open tabs are synced across my devices.
