AI tags could help. You still need to give them tags that are relevant to your intention, but an LLM can handle all the boring tags that are pretty obvious from the text itself.

It probably is functionally not too different. I have the bookmark bar open but I mostly have all the sites I regularly go to there. Additionally, I have thousands of bookmarks from many years so wading through them for something I briefly saw and was interested in last week but can't remember enough detail on to find isn't very fun or easy. And where do I look for it? One bookmark could be categorised in many ways so I also have to remember where I saved it. Tags are good but I have too many for that to be very useful or quick.

I do use grouping as well, and I really like it, but this just causes me to have even more tabs because there is less pressure to trim down the endless list since I can hide them.

Yes, and?

Same problem as bookmarks.

Yeah, but keeping them organized in sensible folders takes effort. If you just throw bookmarks into an enormous trash pile, it gets hard to find stuff. Some sites just have weird names and you can’t find them unless they’re sorted into reasonable folders.

If you’re looking for color themes, you won’t find Paletton. If you’re looking for synonyms, you won’t find Visuwords. The list goes on and on.
