Even if I never open it again I save it to prevent that thing where you remember a site but can't find it again via search. It comes in clutch

My bookmarks are heavily organized with foldering and structure, named concisely for what they are, and typically only allowed to be frequent visit type of sites. If they're stale and old, they get removed.
This cartoon makes me think of those people with desktops full of documents and links. Makes me anxious when I see that.
Same, G-Suite stuff, Sports Stuff, Money Stuff is the largest one, work stuff, DND stuff, insurance bullshit, kid stuff, high seas stuff, and then some misc at the end, but it gets sorted pretty regularly.
insurance bullshit, kid stuff
I read the rest of the list just fine, but shifted the comma over one word to the left for this. Twas amusing.
Ha, nah this is actual important kid stuff, not Roblox and YouTube.
Who needs bookmarks when you've got tabs?
Why would I want it as a tab?
We see those jokes around, but I have seen a guy in real life that keeps SEVERAL tabs open and uses it as some sort of storage. He does that and then goes into every tech conversation to say that 16gb is "absolutely trash" nowadays, and that we need like at least 64gb. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
He also does everything online while logged in on google and on every online service possible. Looking at his browser giver me some unexplainable agony.
Maybe it's a page about boobies ?
then it would get visited more often
Fewer calories.

What? You don't just have them all left open as tabs?
That's worse than the toolbar hell people installed onto their browsers in the 2000s. I will never forget my great-aunt telling me that her grandkids broke her computer and made the Internet slow but wouldn't uninstall all the toolbars and emoticons she had. Truly a PEBKAC error.
Truly PEBKAC, ID10T, or a layer 8 problem.
My bookmarks got to be too many and basically the whole system became unusable. Now I just leave the tab open so I can "come back to it later"™.
I'm started to get to a point where I have too many tabs open and I can't find what I want... I might have to find the next level to migrate to soon.

When you go through them later and they appear broken; what do you do? Delete them? Keep them anyways?

Create a local archive maybe?
Linkwarden works quite well with its archiving features. Highly recommend.
This looks really good. I'm gonna bookmark that and check it out later.
The Internet Archive's Wayback Machine might be able to give you a glimpse into what was lost.

Zero. I leave it as an exercise to the reader to guess why.
Hundreds of open tabs?

This is what I used Pocket for. And when it shut down, I didn't even export my data...

I discovered linkwarden, it lets me dump links I find more organized. It's pretty cool and easily selfhostable (this sounds like an ad)
- Which granted there are a lot that I don't use, I was organized years ago so they were all created on my bookmarks bar in folders. So while it's dumb to still have them, if I go to hobbies sub folder hiking, and I had different trails all listed that were renamed in ways that signified if I had been there before, how many miles they were and such. Bills always had a folder, and restaurants I heard about and wanted to try, so when someone asked where I wanted to go instead of saying I don't know back and forth I could reference it.
Just dumb stuff but I never saw reason to delete them

Bookmarks bar get actually used (mostly). General bookmarks? Yeah those are never seen again.
If I bookmark something that I actually want to use, then it has to go on the bookmark bar. If it goes into the folder, it will rot until the end of time.

That URL should be glad I didn't send it to OneTab
...Mine are spread across four browsers.
And... backups from old browsers.
Is this a neurodivergence meme? It feels like a neurodivergence meme.

150ish but i have a script that opens one of zhem randomly every day
2 or 3. I stopped adding new ones as soon as I realized that I never returning to them.
But they do appear as priority links in future searches. You do win in the longrun by saving valuable links

I only have bookmarks to things I actually frequently open.
I recently reinstalled a clean OS, and forgot to back up my bookmarks despite backing up everything else.
Then I tried to remember what I bookmarked, and I just can't for the life of me recall a single site in that folder.
I am being called out here.
Problem is that I bookmark a site, forget I found a site, go search for a similar thing 6 months later, boomarking the same site (because the url changed slightly from the last visit) or bookmarking a similar one. Repeat.
Thankfully, I have them tagged, though they're all in the "Other Bookmarks" folder.
people just be calling me out man...
