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...
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.
I have a local daemon and browser extension doing something like that on my desktop machines.
In case you’d like to do the same, here are some time savers:
- More of a heads up but storage requirement will never be trivial, even with fs compression. Browsers limit resource cache for a reason.
- Unless OneNote has some kind of page nesting functionality beyond the usual outline/TOC tagging, typical browser-history population and web page length can lead to an infinitely-scrolling, memory eating, difficult to use note.
- It is easier to lean on existing browser and filesystem functionality by printing to PDF and optionally attaching wherever (such as onenote) for a number of reasons.
- Visual consistency of the print render will vary, but the PDF approach uses existing render in situ and is the only page snapshot commonly supported by progressive web applications.
Besides PDF, the most consistent local full-page, full-asset save I’ve found is the .archive format. It’s used in the Safari browser for local saving and is the basis for features like “Add to reading list.” Archive appears to be something like a zipped wget directory but includes additional session state information for future page recreation. I save both PDF and Archive formats and browse using filesystem rather than another app like onenote.
If you’re on Windows, this appears to be the aim of their Recall feature. Just be aware that it (and really that entire operating system) comes with a lot of privacy-related concerns.
Edit: mention .archive format

Is this a AHDH thing? I thought everbody did this.
I do not have ADHD.
I do not do this.

I've seen a trend in the last couple weeks where normal behaviors keep getting attributed to ADHD for no reason in these memes
This is my second time bookmarking this meme.
…I can’t find the first.
I don't think I have ADHD but this is basically the summary of my life
Half the things people call "ADHD problems" is just perfectly normal human behaviour
yeahhhhhhh as a counselor with ADHD it is a major pet peeve of mine reading just about anything ADHD-related on social media
When I read something and lose my place 💁

Anyone else keep those screenshots they accidentally take of their home screen because they know they'll drunkenly accidentally delete an icon on their home screen and have no idea what icon is missing because they never use it but they e grown accustomed to it and want it back the way it was?
Just me?
I rearrange my icons all the time thinking "no this will be more efficient" and I just never really know where everything is.

That feeling of I know there used to be a specific app where this empty space is but I can't remeber which one has driven me crazy a few times, now a days I just lock the home screen so it can't be accidentally changed

Probably about 50% of the recipe pages that I have bookmarked aren't even online any more.
Could you stop calling me out pls?
I'm in this pic and I hate it. I would have like 20 albums written if I would just sit down and turn the clever concept/title and couple of stanzas into an actual fucking song. Instead what I do is open GDrive and get paralyzed at the sight of the burgeoning directory structure and immediately log off, if I even get that far.
I have 1192 tabs open in my mobile browser. I hope, I read all those articles in this lifetime.
Before, I was able to read so much. I finished Count of Montecristo in 10 days. Nowadays, I can't even read more than 3 pages a day.
Pinterest. My boards are full of diy project ideas and recipes that I will never look at again, but I keep clicking and saving.
If and when you get around to looking at it, you’ll love everything you see. A mood hack I discovered is to look at saved posts in a random order, because I forget about everything, so it’s like a perfectly curated feed.

I hope I put the right tags or keywords in the thing that I save cause that's the only way I'm ever finding it again
I’ve hit the limit on safari tabs on my phone multiple times. When you open something in a new tab at that point, it just cannibalizes a tab you haven’t visited recently, but you can use the back button to find out what it was.
I've started browsing my bookmarks instead of browsing sociao media for this reason
And loose that ebaumsworld video!?
I don't have ADHD but this is 100 % me 😁
Sometimes I'm even relieved when my browser crashes and all open tabs are lost 💀
I've got 19,347 links saved in my current Read Later app. How often do I actually open it to get back to something? At most once a month for one thing, usually less.

Only a decade? Noob.
I'm guilty and I sent thia meme in my endless collection
Warn me before you come for me...lol.
I think of them as little treasure troves.
Then find out there are note taking / organizing software out there and never take the time to actually install and learn to us one.
i recommend Obsidian! if you use discord or reddit you'll already know most of the formatting it allows for (Markdown Primer), and it's very nice to use. So nice in fact, when i finally got around to using it i hyperfixated on moving all of my random notes and texts to it to organsie it
Wait… I just realized… Is this Pedro Pascal?! All this time I didn’t recognize him in this meme!
I have 5 google drives at 100% capacity with the images I save.
I pay for google 1 storage so I can keep my meme archive going. Idk what I'll do when I run out
I feel this and I'm not adhdt(to my knowledge)
Do you mean OCD people?
And when you sift through and actually find an interesting link its now a dead page...
