< Was hypertext a mistake?

I totally get what you're saying (...writing ?). I guess that is why tabbed browser were invented, you can open links in the background while you read the page, and when finished you go to the next tab.

I don't like that though, I always feel oppressed by the new tabs waiting.

I tried tabless browsing a few month ago, and it felt great, calm and peaceful. You still have to remember to go this "link that looked interesting" when you're done, but you have to finish your page first.

Maybe a solution would be a tabless browser where you can add a marker to links ? As a reminder to visit it when you're done ?

I'm working on that too. I don't know if I'll ever just have one tab, but I've gone from tens to fewer than five. Just have to remember to bookmark.
