Pocket is one service of theirs I did use from time to time. Save an article you want to read later without committing it to a bookmark.
Wish they'd make bookmark not suck so much that using them felt like a commitment to organisationnal chores. The bookmark system is largely unchanged since the netscape days.
You cant search texts inside bookmarks because they only store the url. Which will break. Instead of saving the html itself, as if we still only has hundreds of gigabytes.
It should have a library level search system, capable of not just symbol text but intelligent summarization, categorization, search by relecant, content discovery algorithm, rss feed support all fully local, offline capable.
The whole thing, metadata, html, inages, video, files, code, replay of the changes over time. Yes I should be able to replay clicking "read more" as I expand comments on facebook. I should not lose my work to a page reload ever again. And no that's nor "too much space". Web pages are largely text sent super efficiently it is not that much information even compared to a gigabyte.
Now imagine having google, bing, qwant, duck duck go and ecosia bookmarked.
You'd get a mostly empty page with a search box in the middle ... and a few hundred megs of tracking software.
