Do you like the browser bookmark manager?
How do you think it compares to services like webcull.com, raindrop.io, or getpocket.com? Have they advanced the field to the point that it's worth switching?
- Support for (persisting) bookmarks tags. From the post re: the re-launch of del.icio.us: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23985623

> Notes re: how this could be standardized with JSON-LD: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1225916#c116

- Standard search features like operators: ((term) AND (term2)) OR term3
- Regex search
- (Chrome) show the createdDate and allow (non-destructive) sort by date
- Native sync API for syncing to zero or more bookmarks / personal data storage providers
- Support for integration with extensions that support actual resource metadata like Zotero
- Linked Data support: extract and store bibliographic metadata like Zotero and OpenLink Structured Data Sniffer
What are the current limitations of the WebExtensions Bookmarks API (now supported by Firefox, Chrome, Edge, and hopefully eventually Safari)?: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/Web...
I haven't worried much about bookmark managers in 2+ years, thanks to Pinboard features[^1] like: * Import and Auto-Sync * Tags and Bundles * Tab Sets * Notes * Quick Edit * API and outside services * Feeds, Badges, and Widgets

I try to keep them organized and tidy in a hierarchy. I bookmark any website I find useful so I don't have to use search engines unnecessarily and most of my websites autocomplete within a few keystrokes.
In summary, I am happy with the bookmark manager. In the future I would like to switch to a plaintext format, perhaps like org-mode if I can get it integrated with the browser. The reason I want this is so I can put that file up on my website to share with others.
I realized that 90% of the sites I bookmarked, never used again or find it again with google instead with my bookmark manager.
