You are not alone. I found raindrop that meets my needs.

cool i'll check out raindrop, thanks for the tip!

but i just wish there were some talented engineering teams at the leading browser creators (cough couch google, mozilla, MS, apple, etc) that would integrate this as a first class feature. a design goal, not a supported extension.

Firefox has a decent bookmark system. What I do usually is star it (one click) and I think you need to click it again to edit it, you can then add tags to it.

Search is a lot easier then.

i think if there was any browser to add something like raindrop natively it would be vivaldi. they seem to do a lot things differently than other browsers

Vivaldi don't have tags hence useless when it comes to bookmarks.

You can use nicknames as tags, atleast that's what I do. Most of my actual bookmark management is actually done in Zotero though.

nicknames cannot be used as tags since it doesn't support auto complete/filter by tag etc. You should really check out FF tag system.Its really awesome.Vivaldi doesn't stand a chance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRIyAu79OrM

Well, Vivaldi does support autocompletion of nicknames. Just tried it with HN (save it as a bookmark and add hn as a nickname)
