The fact that I can create notes from mobile and desktop, with integration into the browser are my main requirements.
Who has a suggestion?

There is also https://github.com/foambubble/foam mentioned, which I haven't looked properly at yet.
For managed/hosted, those all have some variety of options for that. Also https://obsidian.md/, https://www.notion.so/notes, https://roamresearch.com, and OneNote.
However the only compatible mobile app I've found is GitJournal. It's well designed but unfortunately hopelessly buggy.
I think for work (where I always just use my laptop) I'll keep using Foam but for personal notes I'm planning to try out Joplin.
I think it would be OneNote. But if you really wand to future proof your data, I think nothing beats using Obsidian on top of a bunch of folders in a cloud drive.
I am all-in on Apple and I replaced Evernote with iCloud Drive, Notebooks.app, Obsidian and EagleFiler all pointing to the same "vault" folder. While on mobile I just use the regular Files app to browse the iCloud Drive. It's much less convenient than just using Evernote, and that's exactly Evernote's greatness.
For my use case, I do not do much note creation while on mobile, so it's enough to use iOS Files app with a bunch of favorites.
On Safari, MarkDownload extesion works great for me.
Markdown is attractive and you can export from Apple Notes. Not sure how you export from Evernote though.
As an aside, the idea of ‘Evernote’ going away is darkly amusing given the name.
Now I use Obsidian + Syncthing. Alternatively Obsidian Sync for a fee to make it even easier.
I suspect you’ll have more requirements.
