I'm using a similar solution, namely a file I edit in org-mode. Here are the advantages I've found so far: - org-mode or text files in general make it easy to add contextual information, additional notes etc. Bookmarks can finally tell a story. - in org-mode (or Markdown), the bookmark file is well-readable as is in the editor - bookmarks can be rearranged and regrouped quickly if need be - (org-mode at least makes) links to different sections of bookmarks within the same file possible. For this reason, I personally don't use tags but follow a hierarchical structure with intra-document references if need be (e.g. if a group of bookmarks can be considered to be part of two different higher-level groups) - searching is only one grep or one Ctrl+F away. In case of imprecise search terms, the additional hierarchical structure helps. - Easy and privacy-preserving synchronization among devices using git And here are the disadvantages: - No browser integration; bookmarks always have to be added and looked up manually which is particularly cumbersome on a phone.

> No browser integration Depending on the conventions you use in the file, you might be able to fix that with a browser extension that can parse it. Alternatively, if one of the places you're replicating it to happens to be a web-accessible machine, you could throw together a basic web interface (behind a login) for it - that'd get you pseudo-browser-integration on any device.

Use a bookmarklet and org-protocol to trigger an org-capture template: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7464951/how-to-make-org-protocol-work https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7464951/how-to-make-org-... You can make the bookmarklet pass along extra info on certain pages, eg. gmail and have a capture template match it - handy for TODOs with deadlines that link back to emails.
