Thinking of bookmarks and then thinking of history, what I really want is a personal search engine that only searches things you've browsed. Where was that article I read on $subject? I recall the snippet $snippet. Where is that funny picture I saw a few months ago about the old man? It would be perfect in this chat.

A good personal search engine might further alleviate the need for bookmarks.

If you’re running macOS, HistoryHound does that for most web browsers: https://www.stclairsoft.com/HistoryHound/
A friend of mine is working on something like you described: https://blog.webmemex.org/ It an oss personal browsable history.
Something like a full site cache combined with a full text search through said cache?
