I should probably clean out that decade's worth of bookmarks at some point...

My life hack for that is to just never close any tabs.
(Reboots)
Browser: There are 496 tabs in your previous session. Are you sure you want to restore?
Me: Did I stutter?
- You: Did I stutter?
  Browser: No but your computer/phone is about to.
- Those are rookie numbers I have over thousands.
  
  Those 5GB of ram being permanently screaming at me wanting to be closed...
  
  Browsers have been sleeping inactive tabs for years now.
  
  Don't worry, they are all sleeping.
  
  In Firefox search for restore_tabs_lazily in about:config.
  
  I've just been working really hard on my self-control to get it below 500 lol.
- I want an extension that simply saves every page I open into a new page in a specific OneNote notebook. Yea, most would be crap, but the storage is trivial, and the search capability would be awesome.
  Plus it would sort of serve as my own timeline.
  
  Tab Stash?
  
  Tab Stash only saves the links.
  Right now I save pages directly to OneNote on Android, and simply copy/paste the page content on desktop.
  This retains the page content, so it's searchable later.
  
  I have a local daemon and browser extension doing something like that on my desktop machines.
  
  Edit: mention .archive format
  
  Storing web pages (single pages, no attached videos or anything) in OneNote is trivial storage. After 15 years now, my biggest notebook is 4 gigs or so.
  Having it go into any other note taking app would work too, Notion, etc.
  I want the text content, so it's searchable.
  I've used ArchiveBox a bit, maybe I need to setup some automation into it.
- TFW one or more of those tabs leaks memory, so your browser crashes every few hours even with 64GB of RAM.
