@Edent@mastodon.social I have learned I don't return for the open tabs. So if they are related to some thing important or interestimg to me, I create Joplin note about the topic, and save the link along short wording why I need to check it. Then collect relevant other info into note as well. And immediately get rid of the tab. #Joplin is my choise, any note taking app will do. I also enabled the kanban module of it, so I can add thr most relevant notes to my todo priority list. Give it a try, this helps me in the info/task overload. Endless open tabs just add tto stress.

@Edent@mastodon.social I use wallabag for read-later stuff, and linkding for saving useful stuff. I also have a middle ground for “useful thing I want to try/use/set up, but not now” (e.g. wrong device) of saving to linkding and marking it unread there (I don’t otherwise use the read/unread status). I had to practice putting stuff in those and closing the tab instead of leaving it open to “read later”, and that has now become habit :)

@Edent@mastodon.social David Allen's "Getting Things Done" is helpful in this regard: 1) if it can be done in 2 minutes, just do it 2) If not, record it in a system you trust, and that you review regularly I have a to-do list app (well, a vibe-coded clone of Cultured Code's Things, which is sadly not available on Linux) where I save the link, then move it to one of the projects ("Learning", "Software to build", etc). Tabs can get lost after a browser crash or bug.

@Edent@mastodon.social I run a local linkwarden (basically fancy Wallabag) and have a separate collection for “surely one day I’ll take a look”. Not a perfect solution but it gets the job done for me.

@Edent@mastodon.social maybe not the answer you want: A couple of times per year I realize that I will never find the time to look at the 100 open tabs, and just close all of them. Gives me a fresh start 🙂 But seriously, my plan is to set up browser-sync between my phone and laptop. It is easier to do something with the tabs on a full desk setup.
