    yes, eventually the OS gets reinstalled or I switch computers and i don’t do backups so every few years they get purged unread for the most part.

    When I close all my tabs, i ask the question, was this hard to find? If for example I am looking for information on Tolstoy and the article I have open in my tab is the top hit when you search Tolstoy I will not bother bookmarking.

    I just don’t bookmark anything I don’t read straight away. If I want to read it that badly I’ll search for it again.

    Bookmarks within the browser just became too unwieldy, so for years I’ve emailed them to myself.

    Between 2 February and today there are 251 such emails. 26 of them are marked as being read.

    Most of them are generated when I’m frustrated reading a poorly formatted article on my phone. Some are to capture research or items I might require at some future point in time.

    I rarely delete them.l, since often they help with determining timelines and the like.

    No, I delete individual items as I read them, but never delete the whole folder in one go.

    I used Omnivore for that and just kept everything. Since they moved on I played around with safari’s read leater or pocket but none of them really grew on me.

    I do quick-save stuff to safari but clean out the list usually during the weekend, as anything I haven’t read by then seldom is worth keeping.
