i'd be interested in how many are dead links now. i'm nowhere near (hovering around 500 at the moment) and when i frequently do a healthcheck i see that most are already dead. are you archiving (using archive's wayback machine or something?) to ensure they're alive when you need them? for some definition of need lol

Most of these tabs are "Oh these are interesting, I'll save it and read it later this evening by restoring them."

Repeat next morning.

...the restoring part doesn't happen.

Please export the tabs, before one tab crashes on you. I’m amazed you made it till 24k without it crashing, low-k tabs are enough on my laptop to crash it. (Though my laptop is from 2015 so that might also factor in.)

Isn't that 24000 bookmarks and not "tabs" - a tab (to me) means an open tab in the browser.

I mean sure. a "tab" that you've hibernated in the background (on browsers that support it) is just a bookmark as well, realistically speaking.

Except I can hit restore all...

OneTab for me is a solution to my problem:

What ends up there is what I know isn't important enough to bookmark, but I kinda feel like I should read. Having OneTab makes me feel like it's ok to close the tabs, knowing full well I'll never, ever look for most of them again...

It's an comfort blanket.

I know I'm fooling myself, and I'm perfectly happy with that.

My hope at this point is for some AI to analyze my 75.000+ links and tell me what I may have forgotten which I should really be aware of, and give me a summary of it. Possibly even let me know if new discussions on certain technologies have been trending currently on topics which I Ve dealt with.

Yeah, I keep fantasizing about doing a custom indexer for all of my different data for a similar purpose as that... One day...

Interesting idea.... I have been idly working on an web crawler / indexing / organizing system that uses NLP etc to sort of solve the OP's problem(s) - if you don't mind, could you send me an email about your needs? See my HN account for contact info.
