I save up tons of open discussion threads, articles, GitHub pages, etc on my phone or computer over time. Eventually, I pick a day to just blast through as many as possible, closing them as I go. I’ve spent so many hours of my life trying to close out stuff that is no longer relevant (but still unread) because I was approaching the max number (500) of open tabs on my phone.

It’s a consequence of being curious, lazy, and impatient at the same time.

That's a dangerous combination...

Assuming it is Safari browser on iOS… and if you just want all your tabs gone in seconds: just long press „Done“ in tab view and a „Close all“ option will appear.

And first you can long press the name of the tab group and select “copy links” if you want to paste them into a note for posterity

And this is what grandpa was browsing in July 2024

Thanks, I know. The point is to build a reading list for later when I have a long window of free time.

Archivebox is your friend

I use a macrodroid macro to submit links to my archive box for me.

I use Pocket for things I wanna find again later, but that's after I've already read it. If I just go directly to Pocket without reading it'll get forgotten.

Just don't open note than 4 tabs. Easy
