For things that might be useful in the future, I'll just rely on Chrome's history and my own memory (and ability to search for it in Google) to find it if/when needed. That's worked pretty well. Sometimes the search takes a little longer than expected because I'll have to recall the context of where I originally read about it. Remembering that context will often help me find a way to locate the site again.

Alternatively, for articles and content that looks interesting and I want to read, I'm using Pocket on my browser, phone and tablet. Everything I want to read gets saved to Pocket. When I find myself with 15 minutes and looking for something to do, I pull out Pocket, read an article or two and delete them. I do fear that I'll never get through the entire Pocket list though. Maybe I need to take some more long flights to get through this backlog. Pocket is just a different method of digital hoarding though.

I'm not a fan of saving 1000s of bookmarks because that's not really building a collection that I'll consume. I see some people constantly opening new browser tabs with the intent of coming back to read it, which is really just a more ephemeral version of the bookmarking solution.
