> My regular life is being interrupted by taking screenshots all the time, so I have relatively less time to work on important things.

I think I lack perspective on this and am not quite understanding what you mean. Where is the interruption coming from? Why do you need to take screenshots?

I have this too but it's in the form of saving URLs of interesting things. I just fear stumbling upon something nice, not saving it and then not being able to find it again (which happens regularly btw; Google search and reddit search are pretty bad at finding things when my only context is "I saw it last week or something")

Honestly it's exhausting.

It could be worse once you realize that webpages can disappear. So your saved URL doesn’t even help, you’ll actually need to save the page as some kind of archive.

The tool I mentioned above auto save the full text content of your visited web pages locally so you could look back even if the server is down

Safari (and I think other browsers) has some great history search features. You maybe could explore those.

>Your History shows the pages you've visited on Chrome in the last 90 days.[1]

I'm not sure if nextaccountic would find 1 year or 1 month or 90 days sufficient.

I don't use macs.. Firefox history is pretty much useless but there are some extensions like https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firefox-bette... .. but none really satisfying

Generally the best extension to save things is https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-session-m...

You can use a personal search engine, it runs locally, allowing you search back the content you visited without SEO junks nor privacy leak.

Doesn't yacy do the same thing?

Sounds like it's a compulsion, same as people who check the stove or faucet just in case, GP takes screenshots just in case.
