At the end of last year, I imported all of my browser bookmarks, Evernote, Pocket and Diigo exports into Obsidian. It took multiple rounds of tags cleanup strategies but it now in a very useable state. Still a lot of work to do but i wouldn't have come this far without Notebook Navigator.

If anyone care about the process, here are some strategies that helped me a lot:

• Remove 'subjective' tags
  • how_to...
  • best_of...
  • highest_..
  • top_x...
• Remove / simplify long tags
  • cyberpunk_high_res_graphics_guide -> cyberpunk_2077
• Combine related tags into a simple category
  • cyberpunk_game
  • cyberpunkgame
  • cyberpunk_the_game
• Remove redundant tags
  • Keep only 3 to 5 tags per note
    • Tag for what the note is: music_video, ted_talk
    • Tag for what the note is about: author, topic
  • Keep 1 broad and one narrow tag
    • gaming, skyrim
    • 3d_modeling, zbrush
  • Use Dataview to query list of notes with more than 5 tags
• Remove tags that appear only once
  • Except tags about authors names
• Move notes to tags in bulk
  • In Notebook Navigator, search for 'graph data !#graph_data' and drag to tag 'graph_data'
  • Start with top tags for better aggregation
• Long tail - add tags to notes without tags
  • In Notebook Navigator, search for: '!# '
