My Bad Habit of Hoarding Information
to help manage this i created a "speed dial" extension and use it basically as a visual bookmark manager. the advantage to tabs in a list is that they are easy to reference visually, and like any bookmark can be sorted and arranged into folders. so i have on for technical references, various research topics, etc that i plan to come back to. and its easy to pop one off the list to maintain them. check it out if youre curious, its open source:

Show HN: Yet Another Speed Dial โ An open source new tab page
Show HN: Yet Another Speed Dial - An open source new tab page
I made an open source, cross-browser new tab page inspired by the Speed Dial in Opera.
It also works great as a bookmarks manager because it gives you visual thumbnails for bookmarks instead of just a list. When you bookmark a site, just choose the Speed Dial folder (or one of its subfolders) and you'll automatically get a screenshot, favicon, or open graph image as a thubmnail.
They can be sorted easily with drag and drop, and since they are just bookmarks under the hood you don't need to worry about the extension locking you in.
If you're like me and still use lots of bookmarks, give it a try. Happy to hear your feedback HN!

I closed a lot of browser tabs
that's the inspiration for my browser extension, Yet Another Speed Dial. it works as the new tab page but basically i use it as a visual bookmark manager. i find it way easier to scan my bookmarks as thumbnails to find what i want. it's open source and supports all the major browsers, check it out!

- Is there a Firefox addon that gives you a website preview when you hover over a tab, like you can on Safari?

Ask HN: What are you surprised isnโt being worked on more?
i'm working on this as a browser extension. to get my feet wet i created Yet Another Speed Dial (https://github.com/conceptualspace/yet-another-speed-dial) which many people find useful, but the end goal is to apply the same kind of richness to all bookmarks and history

Pinboard addict here.
Tangentially, I would recommend exporting your Pinboard collection periodically to somewhere safe. The service has gotten sketchy in the last year or two. I transitioned mine to a self-hosted instance of Espial.

Pinboard vs. Raindrop: Two bookmark apps enter
An alternative, one that I began using a year ago after losing confidence in Pinboard is the self-hosted Espial - https://github.com/jonschoning/espial.
The visual presentation is a near complete clone of Pinboard. It also provides a route for Pinboard import.

Anki is great for memorising... but learning perhaps not so much? (help)
Link repository - I use a self-hosted instance of Espial, but again the technology is unimportant. I mention this only because one of the philosophies of the Zettelkasten is to avoid the collector's fallacy where just by saving something you think you know it. So links go here if I might want to find it again in the future but I don't have time to think about it now or take notes on it into the ZK.

PKM As A Solution for Browser Tab-Hoarding
Saving URL's: For the most part, I don't like existing built-in bookmarking solutions in most browsers, because they seem to treat metadata cursorily or just ignore it. I've started using Espial which is a self-hosted Pinboard knock-off that allows me to tag and comment on URL's that I save.
