If you're interested in utilizing your history information for something in your intentional interests, consider saving an archive of pages you browse to make a search engine you can query back through later.

You can save the full content for indexing with full text search, and you can even export archives as tarballs by zipping up the directory. Many people find this a useful way to "mine" their own browser history to create a curated search engine aligned with your interests. Or simply to save the pages they browse for review offline--either to save bandwidth, or just because they're actually "offline"--at a remote site, or on an airplane.

Everything is saved in a fully interactive way. Personally tho, I find search the most useful feature. Also, we're open source so if you want to get involved, please do so!

https://pinboard.in is my go-to for this sort of thing.


Didn’t something happen to that guy, or the site went down? Or was that something else. The one i linked is self hosted, but a Saas version definitely is interesting.

Does your one have archiving and search??


The site has been solid for me for years and it does have content archiving and search.

Not sure of which site issue you're talking about.
