For sites that I visit often, I add them to my browser bookmarks in Chrome. Mainly for the autocomplete when I start typing the name of the site. Things to read get queued in the browser bookmark bar where they are visible, and I fight a losing battle with this getting too full.

For links to reference material and reading I have a collection of private OneNote notebooks with links and notes and bits of code. These notebooks are sync'd in a onedrive folder so I can access then in Office on my primary machine, or via the onenote webapp at work. It may not be fashionable but I like OneNote.

I used to use delicio.us back in the day, but never found its social aspect that useful. The nearest I now have to a public list of links is my HN favourites.

I used to bookmark things, then realized I never went back to look at them. If I find something especially interesting and important, I email a link to myself. Most of the time if I want to find something again it's easier to just google it again than to dig through bookmarks.

Same. My bookmarks are a form of write-only memory.

I’ve been slowly realizing this, too. I’m finding it more effective to categorize ideas based on certain topics, and then have a Google Doc where I store links, with a brief paragraph accompanying each link on my key takeaways from the link. E.g. I’ve got an “Investing Notes” doc, a “Psychology Notes” doc, etc.

Definitely. Reasonably priced, I'm the customer, and it works with Android and Firefox, which are my everyday tools.

Had an account for a while, just now really starting using it. How do you use it with Android and Firefox? The official plugin says it doesn't work with Firefox Quantum.

There's a quantum port: https://github.com/gapop/pinboard-webextension

An org file on my hard drive. It's plain text so... universally supported everywhere, woo!

Also universally supported across time.

People have no sense that they might want to look at something in 10-20 years in that web service that was so handy at the time...

How do you integrate with Firefox? Their plugin says it doesn't work with Firefox Quantum. (Or is that one not worth mentioning? ;)

I've been a devoted FF guy for 15 years, so I sure think it counts! There's a quantum port: https://github.com/gapop/pinboard-webextension (also available by looking through firefox plugins, but i'm linking to the source for clarity)

Thank you. I try to go with official plugins, because who knows about all those similar named plugins made by random people. But this one looks legit.
