I was just away from the Internet for 8 years. When I checked my bookmarks 99% of them were dead links. I wonder how many from Mosaic days would still be valid?
Serious question: were you in prison? If not, how/why did you take an 8 year break?
Maybe they had a friend named Wilson on a long vacation on an island? Maybe they were the star in a day time soap where they were in a coma for 8 years.

#43It's convenient, but I've developed muscle memory to just type news.ycombinator over the last 10 years, so I guess it doesn't matter much for me. When I first discovered the site, I definitely had to google 'hacker news' in order to find it consistently, however, so maybe someone else can get good use out of it.
I just type “new” enter

You mean type 'n' and hit enter.
I black-holed news.ycombinator.com on my work computer by adding it to my /etc/hosts file, but my subconscious compensated by going to news.google.com often enough that now ‘n’ + enter takes me there.

Sometimes I think I am the only person left in the world who still uses the "Bookmarks" feature of my web browser.
I think I stopped using them when the browsers inexplicably lost their menus.
I don't really understand why the menus went away from the top of web browser, since desktop screen space hasn't been an issue since the late '90s, even on laptops.

Firefox has menus on the top, unless the user hides them.

This trick does not work anymore since I visited netflix :(
Using Firefox or Chrome solves this problem as you don't get full quality for Netflix on them, hence there's no address collision as you resort to using Edge (or else?) for Netflix.

In my case, it is 'n' + '↓' + enter
