Emacs + Org Mode is a great tool for this too. Although Emacs itself has a learning curve, it is well suited for a task like this.

I use Org Capture to bookmark links using a Chrome extension on my desktop. Org Capture also allows me to clip comments too from a thread. I highly recommend it for a process like this.

Second org-mode - I used to have Firefox setup similarly to your Chrome setup, but that extension broke, and I've missed it ever since. It's not perfect, but C-l followed by C-c will get me the URI for pasting in org buffers. Or I can browse in 'M-x w3m' and capture links and text from there.

As for Emacs learning curve, it's small when compared to the amount of time I would have had to spend learning other systems (over and over and over . . . ) over the past two decades. Emacs lasts, and so does the learning you spend on it.
