    Bookmark with a snooze button. Bookmark, buffer and complete your reading list.

  • You are right. But part of the reason why we don't go back to them is because our tools are not intelligent enough to know that we bookmark something because we want to get back to it later. It's not our job to remember to go back later. The system should compliment our tendency to forget. Sadly, I didn't find a single bookmarking system that reminded me of links I wanted to read later.

    I wrote this as a manifesto - https://github.com/joelewis/readmelater and later went on to build a version of that vision not because I wanted to beat that idea to death, but I just couldn't find a single bookmarking service that did what I expected it to do.

  • deligle

    Discontinued An extention for Google Chrome that displays matching links from your Delicious bookmarks in Google search results.

  • I wrote this extension years ago when Delicious was still around. Whenever you searched for something on Google, it queried Delicious and displayed the matching bookmarks on top of Google's search results.

    It worked extremely well for me.

  • sidebery

    Firefox extension for managing tabs and bookmarks in sidebar.

  • I used the same extension but now moved to https://github.com/mbnuqw/sidebery. You can group tabs, set rules (like automatically move to group X if URL matches Y) and much more. Best of all, you can save a snapshot of your tabs to open in the future instead of relying on restoring previous session.
