The web browser could be a provider of rich personal context. Firefox is probably in the best position to take advantage of this. But they, too, are dependent on Google (>80% of revenue is Google). Apple doesn't care enough about search or the web to pursue this. Which leaves... open source? Some fringe startup? I'm not hopeful anyone will tackle this problem soon.
We've known bookmarks are not the solution for over two decades now.

This has largely been solved in a roundabout way by Slack. They didn't solve email or search. They just made email completely irrelevant at orgs that use Slack and their search interface, while not perfect, does an okay job. They only succeeded because email is so bad in contrast.
