Sign into Chrome with your Google account. They give you the option to save your history, bookmarks, apps and other things across browsers.

for how long they'll keep our browsing data?

It is a rolling 90 days. It resets if you manually clear your browsing history though. Also if you use incognito mode it will not save your history.

There is also this extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/better-history/obc...

Hey, you may want to check this out:

It's an application I wrote as I was learning Go.

It's a "bookmark stack". You want to save a link? You push it in the stack.

You want to read something interesting ? You trust your past self and pop something from the stack.

One of the ideas is not to know what's on the stack until you've popped it out, and get used to read a page carefully once it's popped, and not to stack links "indefinitely".

It a bit WIP, but feedback are welcome.

Next thing on the to-do list is bootstrappizing the general look&feel.

the push thing...can it be done automatically, so that the stack saves each address i visit through the browser.
