TBH, the fact that bookmarking has not been completely separated from browsers makes me very sad. I know I can use a cloud service like pinboard.in. A universal bookmark sharing format would make the world a much better place. The fact that importing and exporting is still a thing sucks. Give me a content addressable store upon which multiple indices and management tools can be built and give me a way to choose how to view my bookmarks based on information about them. Near as I can tell bookmarking tools still only record url and title and let me organize into folders by copying entries. This is simply archaic. I should have to adopt a cloud solution to get something better, faster and easy to pull up in any browser on my computer.

RIP del.icio.us remember when browsers had extensions to sync your delicious bookmarks ? Or when bookmark sharing on delicious was a form of microblogging ? If you followed the right feeds it was the hackernews of the day.

I don't want my bookmarking completely separated from browsers, but I would like it to sync to shared browser-portable cloud storage. I'd also like the distinction between tabs, bookmarks, and history to go away and be replaced by some categories that are more relevant to me.

Having something like 1Password for bookmarks across browsers would be sweet. Perhaps with client-side encryption too, for increased privacy.

Owncloud has a really nice plugin for this. All you need is a simple bookmarklet and you can tag bookmarks and access them anywhere

I wonder how hard it would be to write a Chrome Plugin that connects to Mozilla Sync ...
