I tend to get a whole lot of web pages open. I’ll be reading one page, and I’ll open two links with it, and two links with that one, and sometimes I’ll lose interest in the page I’m reading and want to come back to it later, eventually I have 50 pages open, eating all my memory.
At that point, I need to figure out what to close, and what’s worth reading later. Sometimes I’ll just temporarily store the URLs of the interesting stuff and use notepad - it’s better to close the browsers entirely because that frees up wasted memory from leaks.
But that’s sort of a silly roundabout way of doing things. On the other hand, the pages aren’t worth populating bookmarks with, because I won’t be going back to them. So is there an addon for either IE or firefox that basically says “close this window, but remember the url because I want to read this later” and then builds a list of pages? That way I can go back and read them without having to keep them open until I do so, eating up memory.
