For content on webpages that I want to keep I use this bookmarklet (http://pdf.fivefilters.org/simple-print/url.php) to save the page as a nicely formatted PDF then I save the PDF to my cloud drive for permanent storage / reference.
I used to use macOS file metadata to also include the download location of the PDF to be able to go back to the source site, but found little use for that bit of file system metadata.

I use Pocket for Firefox. It's a great tool on laptop since bookmarking with tags is just a click away. Also, these bookmarks can also be accessed from their mobile app.
If it's a piece of article that I absolutely treasure, I use clean-mark[0]. It converts the page into markdown seamlessly, which I then send it as a PDF to my Kindle or read it on laptop.

It gives you rich bookmarks with highlights, notes, tree-style web history, and collaboration.

2. Store in either "read" or "watch" Firefox bookmarks folder.
3. After consuming the content, if I think I might need the resource in the future, I store it in Static Marks [1], an open-source tool that I wrote.

Submit links to subreddit of the websites you want 'bookmark'.
Done: an online bookmark list.
