Need help figuring out bookmark management

Over the years I have saved many bookmarks in Firefox in various folders for interesting, useful or just frequently used websites.

Now I've recently moved a lot of stuff to more private (foss/selfhosted) alternative and I'm considering moving browsers too.
Since the bookmarks are so integrated into the browser I was wondering what you guys do/recommend in order to keep a bit more freedom.

One option I could think of would be to write them into a Markdown doc and to sync it with all the other notes I keep but that's a bit inconvenient - there's got to be a nicer way that doesn't send every action to a browser corpo, right?

I use Floccus with my Nextcloud and LinkWarden (self-hosted) to share with my wife and kids

If you're going self-hosted with your stuff, have you consider a bookmarking webapp like Shaarli? You can even export your bookmarks from your browser and import them.

So many options :o

@linkwarden, Nextcloud Bookmarks and xBrowserSync should be the best options.
Other options are Floccus, LinkAce, @omnivore and @wallabag

Whoah thank you!

The mastodon links don't seem to work or is that just me?

I don't know how Lemmy deals with Mastodon links, but they work on here on Kbin/Mbin and should also work when viewing the post on Mastodon/Firefish/Sharkey directly

I recommend xbrowsersync, it doesn't even need your email.

Just a tad bit confused are you trying to back them up or keep your bookmarks synced across different browsers/devices? I'm a bit slow today, haha

asphalt OP ,

No worries, should've made it more clear :D

I want to organize them and have them synced across my devices so when I'm browsing the web it's easy to store a Link and to open that special site I remembered. I guess backing up should also be possible; haven't thought about that much to be honest.

nextcloud bookmarks are it for me

as longs as u have ownership over your nextcloud instance, you can basically sync bookmarks from every firefox profile (i have a LOT) and to different computers or mobile devices

its helped me actually manage bookmarks and stay tidy, but then again most of the time bookmarks are just a glorified autocomplete for me now a days.

asphalt OP ,

Yes! They are nice for navigation indeed. On Firefox you can even set keywore so all it takes to open youtube.com is typing 'yt' - I hope ungoogled Chromium can do that..

Thanks for suggesting nextcloud, didn't know they could do that aswell.
