I've found raindrop.io to be very simple and useful, especially for transferring bookmarks between my phone and laptop.

Yeah, I'm using it too now. On my phone and on desktop(s). But... I don't know, something's missing here, I cannot explain) I mean, it could be done better. It's a bit slow, not very convenient in terms of tagging. UX is just not logical for me in some cases.

You know, after some time tinkering with different services (most of which are described in this post), I found that the best way to use bookmarks is the browser's way. The thing that should make it more efficient is some strategic approach to adding, storing, and removing (cleaning) of bookmarks. This kinda GTD-ish system would cover things that browsers lack for.

The only issue it won't solve for me is syncing between different browsers (yes, I need that sometimes). So probably some app related to fixing this problem would help in my case.

But it's just my case anyway, probably the extensions and apps mentioned here would fit all the basic user needs. And Raindrop.io is one of the best choices.
