another vote for pinboard.in. Some features that make it well worth the full cost: - Cached snapshots - search bookmarks by actual boolean operations on tags, which is something hardly anyone does for reasons I've never understood. - Fast, simple website. Everything that was good about 1999. - Browser integrations for every browser worth mentioning - OS integration for quick search outside of a browser - mobile apps aplenty (i use Pinner on iOS) - fully private bookmarks, if you want (which I do) - nice API (I have some silly python scripts that give me tag statistics and clean things up; they took about 20 minutes to write) - it's a one-man show, and he answers emails! - tarball-of-all-your-data on demand.

How do you integrate with Firefox? Their plugin says it doesn't work with Firefox Quantum. (Or is that one not worth mentioning? ;)

  I've been a devoted FF guy for 15 years, so I sure think it counts! There's a quantum port: https://github.com/gapop/pinboard-webextension https://github.com/gapop/pinboard-webextension (also available by looking through firefox plugins, but i'm linking to the source for clarity)

    Thank you. I try to go with official plugins, because who knows about all those similar named plugins made by random people. But this one looks legit.

  that's probably true, but I can't say for sure: I purged all of my local browser bookmarks years ago. Pinboard is ground truth for me for specific links. Feedly has become my repository of bookmarks-of-sites-i-like-to-read-in-general.

    Why can't it be ground truth and sync to browsers' bookmarks? - I refuse to use anything that is not integrated with the browser bookmarks. All these numerous web "bookmarks" are just silly. The above mentioned floccus/nextcloud looked promising but then they mentioned they can't sync different browsers from the same root. Somehow Xmarks doesn't have that problem. I am still looking for comparable replacement. Bookmarks are a way for immediate direct access to things I don't remember than a search tool for me. For search I can just google.

      For those interested I found https://github.com/xBrowserSync https://github.com/xBrowserSync to be the most promising. The only thing it doesn't have firefox extension yet.
