The bookmarking functions in chrome are already extremely weak, I guess for the reason you point out. No tagging, only folders, results when searching don’t get top position in the omnibar.

Bookmarking is one of the areas where firefox is clearly superior.

Same for the history, I much prefer it in Safari than Chrome. It looks like Chrome make it worthless on purpose so that we use Google instead of looking through our history.

And what’s worse is that none of the other Chromium browsers change it, it really is the worst history/bookmarking UI out there. Firefox’s isn’t much better as it feels plucked straight out of 2003.

It made the Safari 13 Extension-pocalypse so much harder to bear. Every browser I can pick from has something important I have to compromise on.
