For my 80k+ bookmarks I use buku. Everything goes in there. It`s just a sqlite database (and buku is also a library for python). Good resources are saved in archivebox.io and are searchable via `rga`. In order to access my bookmarks i either need a local copy or have access to where my stuff is stored. To open any bookmark i search with `fzf` outside the browser. so i can work browser independently. (Can be integrated in rofi or dmenu.) And in the near future I`ll upload resources in a webarchive format to ipfs node to preserve some of the current internet (and to not get involved with rate limiting when I update my buku metadata.
