I use the bookmark manager in Firefox, which I can search through.

I've been using Raindrop for about five years. The solo dev really impressed me with his responsiveness to user feedback, so I started paying for premium ($30/yr) even though I don't really need the extra features.
I've used the mobile app, Firefox extension, desktop app (Linux and Windows), and the web app. All have worked flawlessly and have grown more feature rich without ruining the user experience.
The features I use the most are:
- Endlessly nestable folders that I can give my own icons to make them significantly easier to navigate around
- Public collections so I can save my favorite GIFs and memes on a public page I can refer back to and share
- Tagging, descriptions, and notes so I can save a lot of context for each bookmark and why I saved it
- The built in preview for the mobile app feels buttery smooth, so I seldom open tabs in my mobile browser when I'm visiting my bookmarks
- The main premium features I actually use are the broken link detector to find links that no longer exist and the permanent copies of those pages
I haven't had a chance to use the REST API, but it appears to be documented quite well.
Overall I've had such a pleasant experience that I've never looked at any other option.

Does Floccus count? It syncs via caldev into the native bookmarks.

Linkwarden. Because it has a good design, tags, is selfhostable, has some nice integrations (browser-plugin, PWA) and saves backups of the bookmark in PDF.

I've been using Omnivore, with Obsidian plugin to have local copies of the pages.

I migrated all my Firefox bookmarks to a self-hosted Linkding instance. https://github.com/sissbruecker/linkding/ Lightweight and once you get a tagging methodology in place its super useful.
replies:
Floccus is what I use for bookmarks.
Works across pretty much any browser and on Android (maybe iOS, I'm not sure). I've got it set up on my Synology NAS through webdav, and it's been reliable.
I do also use Linkwarden, but that's more to collect web pages, and not just bookmark them. The archive feature is great, since it doesn't rely on the page still being live to work.
Linkwarden and Floccus are very different, IMO.
I really like Readeck, it is very polished and the fact that it copies links content is very useful when saving Medium blog posts (and generally to make sure that I don't lose the content if the linked page is ever removed)

I use the one built in Vivaldi. What's the point of an external bookmark manager?
replies:
Firefox; easy to sync, easy to access, easy to search through.

Selfhosted RSS reader Miniflux + Wallabag + KOReader client in KPW4 = 👍
Miniflux to get all my feeds which I can analyze manually throughout the day and send selected snippets to Wallabag for later reading either during lunch or at night using KOReader client in KPW4.
replies:
I've started using Hoarder and am enjoying it. I really like the page caching and automatic AI tagging so that I don't have to.
I use linkding for bookmarks and readeck for read-it-later
replies:
Ok, I realize this is c/selfhosted, but I have a question… why not use something like the xBrowserSync extension for this?
Aside of someone could associate the data to me for my list of favorite web places, which has 100 other exposure points. Is there another use case you’re solving?
