It’s marketed as a bookmark manager with

You’re definitely looking for DEVONThink[1] if you haven’t seen it yet. Based on the description it gathers all your research for you, including saving web pages offline, and scans images/paper document to be included in search. Personally I have stuck to pasting everything on a certain topic into an Obsidian[2] note, but you won’t get image search. I’ve been looking for something that can integrate Google Photos sea…

Do you have any resources to get started with emacs
Frankly, I'd be thrilled to have a Firefox fork that is designed to show exactly one page, specified by the command's sole argument, and do nothing else. All the "tab" stuff and bookmarks could be offloaded to shell scripts. Taken even further, you could modify the browser to expose git-ish hooks (for example, calling .browser/hooks/request-file when fetching a resource could allow you to implement request blocking).

However yeah for photos especially, Apple or Google Pgotos is best. However neither have been very good with OCR of text. I’ve tried both with text in photos I knew for sure were around. They weren’t found.
There’s a $12 iPhone and Mac app that does good text search in images.

I personally prefer qutebrowser [2]. I use it with the "all tabs are windows" mode, leaving tab management to i3wm. It is by far the most customizable browser I've used and, unlike surf, I haven't found many pages it can't render correctly.
