Amazingly, none of these options are great.
Bookmark OS comes close for me, but the ugly UI ruins the experience. Nothing is more annoying than the Russian doll experience of seeing a hacky version of macOS doubled up inside of the chrome of your actual OS.
Love Raindrop in theory (design-wise they have the right idea), but I dumped it in practice due to the fact it's too bloated and buggy and runs much slower than just keeping my bookmarks on Safari.
Pinboard, while being minimalist which I love, is minimalist in the wrong way. The visual hierarchy is all over the place and impossible to decipher through. Scanning down a list of bookmarks is painful.
So I've largely just been using the standard bookmarks feature in safari--which is actually refreshing and awesome.
Except when I do that, I can't sync bookmarks to other browsers. I use Chrome on mobile and sometimes on desktop.

So back to the drawing board.
Why the hell are bookmarks so hard in 2019?
