+1 bonus points for FOSS
I just pin the tab and leave it there forever
Lemmy save, and browser bookmarks
Tabbed browsing
I used to do this but I ended up with over 1000 open tabs. Now I close all tabs at the end of the day.
And then sometimes the browser forgets that it should reopen them and I’m like “noooooooooo… but actually, I’m free now” and pile another several hundreds of tabs right away ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Wait, you guys are reading them later?
right click -> open link in new tab
[I have hundreds of browser tabs open]
If you have a mouse wheel try pressing it down while hovering over a link. Should open in new tab.
Alternatively, ctrl while clicking.
I use Omnivore!
Same here. Tried and paid for wallabag, but it wasn’t get updates and the UX was beyond terrible.
If omnivore get enshittified, I’ll just export the text I want to read locally and sync over git.
I like Linkwarden, Omnivore and wallabag
Firefox has Pocket built into the desktop client. It’s not too bad.
- SingleFile on Firefox and Chromium (I have about 2 GB of saved HTML files)
- SCREENSHOT EVERYTHING NO MATTER PHONE OR COMPUTER
- To save links, I never rely on bookmarking. I use “Save All Tab URLs” on Firefox and similar addon for Chromium, and save all my URLs in plaintext files.
- I am one of those archivist saviours who keeps silently archiving a bunch of obscure webpages onto archive.org and archive.is, and keeps updating archived webpages.
Everything mentioned here is FOSS, resistant against future inaccessibility, and time tested by a data archivist/curator (me).
Thank you for your hard work
- Feedr
- Lemmy save
- WhatsApp message yourself

- Google Keep (book recommendations etc.)
I’m using Firefox bookmarks. I know it’s basic, but it’s very easy to use and I have zero complaints.
I always laugh when I see people’s workflows that basically come down to reinventing browser bookmarks. This ancient functionality is good and dead simple
If I’m not going to read it on the device I’m currently on I use Firefox to send it to another device so I can read it later. Otherwise I just leave it open in a tab until I get to it. I have an e-ink Android device now so I tend to send text heavy things to it, and work things tend to only get sent to Firefox on a specific dedicated device.
I use Feeder for rss feeds, and I’ll save articles in there for later
+1 for Feeder, I do most of my doom scrolling on there nowadays.
I wish it had the ability to filter feeds. There’s a lot of rss feeds that have good stuff interspersed with articles that are basically ads. Like just being able to filter out “prime day” or “the top X widgets to do Y” would get rid of a lot of fluff
Telegram Saved Messages
I’ve been using Pinboard for a very long time (signed up when it was just a once off fee) but I want to switch to something self-hosted.
I use Pinboard for two things:
- Articles I want to read later
- Articles I want to save in case I need them again (like bookmarks)
I’d be interested in what you find if it’s open-source, and if it can fulfill both use cases.
