Do you put them in a notes app somewhere, in a browser, or something else? I’m hoping there’s an app where you can put them in privately, organize them by tags, and search with those.
I just use firefox sync. It’s encrypted and painless; you can even send tabs
I didn’t even know it was encrypted and used it anyway because it’s so simple and easy
Yeah! It even had a notes app before they killed it 😞
I use the tab sending constantantly.
I share the link to Orgzly (available in F-Droid), which I set to auto-sync to a local folder. Then, I sync this folder, containing the org-mode files, to all my devices and Desktop with Syncthing. Nice thing is, the page title is shared along the URL, and you can categorize them within Orgzly as well. Downside is, you can do only one link per share, otherwise you get all the URLs but without the page title.
Xbrowsersync currently
I’m using xBrowserSync from F-Droid on mobile and the Firefox extension on desktop.
This right here is one of the best finds I made last year.
With xBrowserSync for bookmarks and BitWarden for passwords, I am no longer tied to a browser on any platform. I run Firefox at home, Edge at work, and Brave on my phone; and I use none of their built in sync features. Switching browsers is no big deal now.
I think it’s also important to note that xBrowserSync is open source and the server can be self hosted (just like BitWarden).
Removed by mod
I just store them locally in browser and you can export them to an HTML file easily.

But I’m also interested in other options.
I copy paste them into a text file then format them as HTML when I have time.
On mobile I usually just share the link to myself using one of the 14 chat apps on my phone and hope I remember to copy them over.
I really wish there was a nice Pinterest style offline app that could generate link previews and look abit nicer than the typical bookmark situations.
I highly recommend it.
I sync my bookmarks with my RaspberryPi/Nextcloud home server via Bookmarks app from F-Droid and bookmarks add-on on firefox…
The app is really bad IMHO. Doesn’t sort bookmarks and doesn’t show folder. It’s really hard to find something

I have programmed PostgreSQL and use Emacs Org Protocol, so I use Iceweasel or Firefox extension for Org Protocol, so I can just insert bookmark straight into the database, or I can annotate something on the website and insert bookmark with annotation. It is just one click. If I need a bookmark, I can export it all and import into any browser, or I can just launch it straight from Emacs. I am searching for bookmarks by using PostgreSQL. This way it is centralized, and I can use any browser to launch same bookmarks. It is not hard to program it yourself. I am using Emacs Lisp.
I am using LinkAce and self-hosting it on my server. Works perfectly.
