> Honestly, who uses bookmarks any more? They just turn into a bloated to-do list, hundreds of links you'll forget about until one day you try them and the domain no longer exists
Use a service like pinboard and they instead turn into a searchable archive of things you like, archived so that they don't disappear/change. Sorta like a curated personal search engine.
I've always thought it a shame how primitive the history and bookmarks are in Firefox. They don't seem to have evolved at all in 20 years apart from the ability to sync them across devices.
In Firefox I feel I can probably do away with bookmarks because of the address bar autocompletion. I think they used to call it the awesome bar, but I haven't heard that term for many years.
I want an offline solution for this. What's the point of saving content from the Internet on the same Internet? You lose your connection and immediately lose access to all the saved content.
So, does anyone know of any solution like this, but running locally instead? I tried Recoll, and both the FF extension and the query engine were... unpolished, to say the least...
EDIT: mentioned in another comment Web Clipper + Joplin looks really nice!
Thank you! For anyone else wondering: Raindrop costs 35 euro per year (but has a limited free version) and Wallabag starts from 3 euro per year, and has options for 5 and 25 euro, but I'm not sure if this influences functionality or is simply a way of donating money to the project.
