I've completely abandoned browser-based bookmarking. It became an unsearchable digital graveyard. Now my workflow is:

For quick reference: I use Memex (open source) which actually makes bookmarks full-text searchable. Game changer.

For deep diving later: I instapaper.com everything. The "permanent library" feature is my second brain for articles.

The real shift: I now bookmark ideas, not just links. If a page has a crucial insight, I'll paraphrase it in my note-taking app (Obsidian) and link back to the source. The bookmark serves as a citation, not the destination.

The browser's native bookmarking feels like a relic from the era of static web pages. The modern web needs tools that can handle the volume and help you actually retrieve information contextually.
