Here is a slightly different perspective --- as someone who pretty much
does everything Web from emacs --- and have done so for a long time,
especially during the dark years when W3 was moribund and EWW did not
exist, I got used to using org-capture for managing bookmarks. It has
some of its own advantages and encourages a slightly different workflow
-- especially if one is already using org-capture to quickly remember
ideas and organize them later.> Matthias Meulien <orontee@gmail.com> writes:
