I find interesting article on the internet but can't / don't want to see it right now so i save it in a .txt file with a random name. I never look at it again and, a week later, i delete all txt files cause desktop looks cluttered.

Is this stupid?

Yes

It's cheaper than using Pocket but then again, I do eventually get to those articles and they mercifully don't need an internet connection when I do.

Hey how come you forgot bookmark?

I used to leave the tab opened on ny phone, well let me put it this way. When you have more than 100 tabs opened that number turns Into a :) on chrome mobile ...

After a while something usually happens that makes chrome crash and all tabs are gone.

I'm trying to use bookmarks instead now ...

After using different things for that, I've ended up using Google Inbox to save something to read later. At least it will eventually appear in my Inbox...

@qwerty1337 The first time I got the ":)" tab counter, I didn't know whether to feel proud or ashamed.

Plus, Chrome on Android doesn't have a "Bookmark all tabs" feature. 😥

Maybe just save all the links in a single text file? Or Google docs, even better. Not cluttering your desktop and you can open it anywhere.
I think saving them for later is better than what I do, which is go ham in a depth-first article hunting situation and end up having spent 5 hours doing nothing productive.

I have a session manager. Whenever I have to restart my computer I save the browser session, restart, and then never use that session ever again. It's a glorified recycle bin.
