It began as a quiet corner of the browser where students, researchers and casual browsers could pile links, screenshots and snippets into a single pane. Over time, the tool grew into a digital scrapbook that let people stitch together articles, product pages and personal notes without leaving the browser. Late last week, a banner appeared in the browser's settings, telling users that the feature would soon disappear and that they should export their collections before the cut-off. The message, brief but unmistakable, has set off a flurry of activity as people scramble to download HTML files, PDFs or plain-text lists of the pages they had curated. For many, the loss feels like the disappearance of a familiar desk drawer, a place where research projects and weekend hobbies lived side by side. While Microsoft has not detailed the reasons behind the decision, insiders suggest the move is part of a broader effort to streamline the browser and focus on cloud-linked tools. As the warning persists, the community is sharing work-arounds, from independent extensions to manual copy-pasting, hoping to preserve the habit that once turned a chaotic web into a personal library.
