Yeah so the biggest problem with bookmarks is that they don't sync across devices very well, and a secondary problem is that you can't tag them or leave a note about why you care.
If something is ONLY relevant to me in a work context at my work web browser I will store it as a bookmark there.
If something is related to one of my broader life projects, like it makes me take a different perspective on that thing, then I take the time to open up Google Keep, write a blurb about my new perspective, link the article, and tag it accordingly.
I've been contemplating moving these to Obsidian so that the notes can be aggregated and cross-linked, but I am noticing friction where this defeats the abstract point of bookmarks where they are "dump and go". Probably I want to keep using Keep but then have periodic checkins where I move everything from Keep into Obsidian and delete it from Keep?
