Any suggestions/extension for better bookmarks management?

I've given up on the built-in bookmarks in all browsers and even the New Tab page. I wrote up a single file HTML page and checked it into my dotfiles repos. Icons are short data urls of SVG with a hover drop down (like Reddit and various subreddits). I like that it's "self hosted" and not some 3rd party site.

I have hundreds of bookmarks, all neatly categorized, compared to the New Tab page's paltry 16 or whatever. I also get the exact same page in Firefox (personal), Chrome (work), or Firefox/Android.

It sounded silly at first but now I can't live without it.

Are you saying you have your new-tab page set to a `file://` URL that points to an HTML file? If so, that's a pretty excellent idea. :D

Yes but a little more complicated than that. You need an add-on, as the old "homepage" preferences seem to have gone by the wayside or don't work as expected.

Isn't that awful to maintain?

Pinboard is a good one. You can even upload PDFs etc and search the text within the PDF. Paid though. It's cheap.

Hey I just started using Pinboard last week. Are the Earlier/Later buttons working for you? Clicking on Earlier only seems to take me one page back. Successive clicks(of Earlier or Later) return that same page of bookmarks. Tried on Safari and Chrome. Thanks

I use https://www.raindrop.io

i use Raindrop.io Freemium, u have unlimited bookmarks, tag system, folder, notes, and simple search. With an affordable subscription, you have a nested folder hierarchy, and permanent cache of your bookmarked items
