Do you ever cleanse your "read later" bookmarks list from your browser? If so, how often do you do it, and when is it usually?

I use tabs, and no.

My “read later” are the tabs opened.

When I’m unemployed. Which has been much more frequently that i thought it would be. Until then, the folder craves. The folder must be fed

Can't say I've ever bookmarked anything to read later.

I just don’t bookmark anything I don’t read straight away. If I want to read it that badly I’ll search for it again.

When I close all my tabs, i ask the question, was this hard to find? If for example I am looking for information on Tolstoy and the article I have open in my tab is the top hit when you search Tolstoy I will not bother bookmarking.

Running a search uses far more resources (energy/ carbon footprint) than accessing a known url directly.

Bookmarks within the browser just became too unwieldy, so for years I've emailed them to myself.

Between 2 February and today there are 251 such emails. 26 of them are marked as being read.

Most of them are generated when I'm frustrated reading a poorly formatted article on my phone. Some are to capture research or items I might require at some future point in time.

I rarely delete them.l, since often they help with determining timelines and the like.

No, I delete individual items as I read them, but never delete the whole folder in one go.

When I reformat or get a new one. ~5 years.

I used Omnivore for that and just kept everything. Since they moved on I played around with safari’s read leater or pocket but none of them really grew on me.

I do quick-save stuff to safari but clean out the list usually during the weekend, as anything I haven’t read by then seldom is worth keeping.

You can delete them?
