None. That's what the bookmark functionality is for, no?

@MoreIronOre When I need to save a link for later, I send it to myself on Telegram πŸ˜…

Well, whatever works for you lmao.

Sometimes it just doesn't seem worth it to save something as a bookmark when you only want to save it temporarily.

I have a folder in which I throw these bookmarks, to keep the rest clean.

Definitely "in my pocket". It's basically the old version of pocket and has sync

Simple Tab Groups

I can create a tab group from some tabs and then archive that tab group for later

Oh, this might be perfect for my usecase!

I use this addon I wrote some time ago to send them to a telegram group I have for this kind of thing

@twmths Doesn't it only sync bookmarks?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I use Firefox Sync.

You mean something like Pocket? I use Omnivore (open source).

[–] Tywele 1 points 2 years ago

Not exactly, I mean more like the collections feature in Edge.

I've been using https://raindrop.io/ and it seems to work pretty well. Good for syncing between devices, reading later, etc.

I just leave the tabs open and use the extension "Tab Session Manager" - works flawlessly.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago

Tab Session manager works really poorly for me. I’ve been using it for years and have had this issue for years where often when I’d try to restore a session, a bunch of tabs would be lost and replaced with blank new tab pages. It’s really frustrating when I trust the extension with session up to literally 100s of tabs.
