I will never have more than 5-8 myself. For me, focus is the key of accomplishing a given task. If I have to do a research, I collect by clipping in Obsidian, then tag and reorganize. If a given project needs a series of webpages on startup, I create a new profile in chrome (with different colour) and move along.

Searching trough open tabs is way more inefficient than searching trough topics/folders and tags in Obsidian. Working against complexity is a habit, I guess. It comes with realization that time is precious:)

Don’t you lose saved passwords / bookmarks in new profiles?

My passwords live in an encrypted folder with contextual information, then are used in the browser with per site rules. Bookmarks are collected in Markdown with tags/notes (Obsidian), or clipped with a bookmarklet.

I use this script: https://bit.ly/3vyA9on. Big thanks to the Author.

Usually at the end of the day, I refine all collected information with tags or specific folders/links.

If you want to export your clipped content, there is a plugin called Obsidian Enhancing Export (requires Pandoc) https://bit.ly/3cZFmzl

P.S. This approach has saved my skin many times. I can sync to my Obsidian folder, which I sync with Synology NAS.

Can you explain this a bit? How do you use the encrypted folder in your browser?

[stayux]

Maybe I have not explained it clearly, sorry.

I usually generate my passwords with pwgen (you can install on Mac with brew and use this command pwgen -s 20 -1 -v -y -c -0) then store in plain text within an encrypted folder on my NAS.

In some cases, I use 2FA. In some, a lengthy "mumbo-jumbo" passwords that are easy to remember. :)

P.S. This is just an old habit and I have nothing against using a password manager like https://keepassxc.org/

Very cool, thanks for explaining your setup, I like the organization of it.
