Re: URL storage and search - Bookmark+ vs Org Mode

[Samuel Wales <samologist@gmail.com>]

org agenda search can find urls, as can isearch, all, occur, etc.

org-capture extension can save to org from gui browser.

copy all urls extension used to save all tabs from firefox in org link
format.  idk what teh best replacement is for webextension.

in principle, it should be possible to create a gui browser extension
in which you can open all selected headers' urls in the gui browser.
and also mark tabs in gui browser save to org headers with a tag.
thus, you could have a topic dedicated to researching food processors
[or whatever topic], and load up a set of tabs, then edit those tabs
in firefox, then save back to org.  optionally deleting the ones with
that tag that are not being saved.  however, it's just an idea.
