What I love in Open Camera is that I am able to turn off all extra post-processing (noise, yes please) and use my phone camera with full manual settings like it was a DSLR (with a really bad sensor). Only problems are clunky UI and general slowness of taking pictures, but you get used to it.
It's really unbeatable from a photographer / artist perspective, especially because I care a lot about imperfect gritty noisy looks and full control.
One thing I also care about is the storage space on my phone running out... Also, I haven't found any good RAW editing app on my phone yet, and I am not gonna jump through the hoops of taking the picture to my laptop and editing it there before just sharing some random snapshot of a day with someone.
But yes, I am a photograper and always take raw photos with my DSLR.
If I open it, click on the background to activate the physics and just keep the tab open, pretty much all of the blocks that can collapse do eventually collapse.
Based on the title I thought this was a personal call-out to me and others like me who obsessively bookmark/save links and yet seldom even glance at their collection.
This is (tragically) the reason why I remain a tab hoarder: the UI carries an implicit nudge (a costly signal of visual real estate), for my future self to engage with it.
In a similar spirit to OP: it did help mitigate the hoarding, when I began thinking "how hard is it to find this resource/reference again, should I actually need it?". And if it's trivial to google (and mnemonically sticky enough I can trust my future self to remember it), I can close the tab.
I keep thinking about something like a search engine integration that would suggest relevant bookmarks at the top of your search results. It might have been even cooler back when we had things like delicio.us and if we could have gotten recommended relevant links from people we followed's bookmarks too. But even knowing how to code like I do I sorta can't think of how to do it, maybe a browser extension that injects over google? I guess I've more thought about how it would interact than how to actually make it.
I use Linkding, and there is https://github.com/Fivefold/linkding-injector which does exactly what you described. I don't use it, though. Usually it brings up irrelevant results, and in the rare case that it would have brought up useful ones, the Firefox search bar history-based autocomplete got me there first.
