Like many people here I suppose I'm feed up with the "current" state of the web. Tracking is ubiquitous, you have no expectation of privacy and search results are most of the time utter crap.
So I started to simply make manually a list of website I find interesting. I just enter them in some very simple cloud note app so I can get them whenever I need to. In a way its similar to bookmarks but I prefered the "full page" list experience, and bookmarks are craps (ff/chrome/etc) will always show you the same results over and over.
After 5 months of doing this I noticed that this humble list with a few dozen entry is way more interesting to browse than using any search engine. I have now a collection of unique website each with interesting things. From a recipe website that does not have bullshit story to a repository of old abandoned games I find my simple list much more enjoyable than anything the modern web offers.
In a way we have come full circle were weblists are cool again.

Markus, Give a link. Its interesting.
I've found myself doing something similar, and even finding a few URLs and shell commands popping up in my muscle memory. It's all been very reminiscent of my early Internet exploration and has been a welcome surprise!
