The problem is when I suddenly remember something I saw a month ago that is now relevant and I can't find it anymore. That's why I preemptively bookmark interesting stuff

This. I also edit the bookmark title to include a bunch of keywords. Finding an article I have only a vague recollection of on the wide web can be hard, but finding it in my bookmarks is easy. I was a big del.icio.us user back in the day, maybe self hosting something like the OP is the way to go.

  Self hosting only makes sense to me if the bookmark search is integrated into the address bar?

  > This. ... Isn't submitting a response enough to convince the rest of us plebs that you agree or have other strong feelings about the parent comment? Chances are good that, unless you're James Joyce, folks will read through the entirety of your statement to draw inflection from what you've conveyed. When you don't agree with the parent comment, have you kicked things off with, "Not this" or, more succinctly, "!This" before making your counterpoint?

    I understand “This” below a comment as a sort of a sign that it messages exactly what the replying person wanted to say. Akin to inheritance. If you just reply with an extension, it may not be as clear that you fully support it.

    have you never heard or read someone start a reply with “i agree” or “i disagree”? in any case, what an awfully off-topic, pedantic thing to get bent out of shape about.

In that case I search my browsing history or re-navigate to that thing with a search engine.

  History search is not an option when my browser is mostly in private window. For me, Google has a mind of its own and has not been reliable in giving out related links even when I search with the exact page title from memory. Happened a lot with stackoverflow type sites. I use Firefox bookmarks and think it has a reasonably good bookmark manager with support for tags and custom keyword searches etc. Tip: In Firefox you can search bookmarks directly by prefixing searches with a * . It can even search bookmark tags.

    In Chrome you can search bookmarks too. Start typing @bookmarks and it autocompletes search on your bookmarks. Same with @tabs to search through open tabs.

      Edge has helpfully copied Firefox's "awesome bar" in doing bookmark search and history search with * and ^, respectively. Sadly Edge doesn't do tags, I initiate them by appending keywords to the bookmark name. (I have to use Edge at work.)

Having bad memory is a nice solution to this. You just don’t remember, so there’s no problem.
