Not sure about other browsers, but Firefox's built-in bookmarks support tags - no need for external apps.

I would like to give Firefox a try. I currently use only Chrome/Edge/Safari. Let me check if it works in IOS.

Firefox can store bookmark tags, but they don't save with the bookmark export without reading the SQLite database with a different tool: "Allow reading and writing bookmark tags" (9 years ago) https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1225916

With bookmarks as JSONLD Linked Data, it's simple to JOIN with additional data about a given URI.

The WebExtensions Bookmark API does not yet support tags.

Not only that...but Firefox Mobile doesn't support tags either!

Firefox's bookmarks manager exports tags just fine (whether to JSON or the bookmarks.html format). WebExtension APIs are a completely separate issue.
