I like Linkpack: https://www.linkpack.io/
It syncs to Dropbox, so I own my data, it's a nice interface over that.

What if I have 6 chome windows each with 10-30 tabs?
Switch to firefox. I have one window with over 1000 tabs, and it all takes just 4GB virtual, 2GB resident. Older versions gave me the incentive to sort things out by slowing down with many tabs or taking too much memory. Now, I unfortunately just accumulate :( At the current rate, I'll likely never get down to 0, as I find more interesting things per day than I can read....
Also, if you still have memory/performance problems, these two addons make a noticeable difference:
- LoadTabOnSelect: Load new tabs on selection. This addon will prevent new tabs from automatically loading, instead loading them on selection.
The intended usage of the addon is to facilitate power-users who open many tabs before viewing, but dislike auto-playing videos (and other annoyances).

- Auto Tab Discard: Use native tab discard method to automatically reduce memory usage of inactive tabs. Auto Tab Discard a lightweight extension that uses the native method (tabs.discard) to unload or suspend browser tabs to significantly reduce the memory footprint of your browser when many tabs are opened.

#43I used Instapaper ( https://www.instapaper.com/ ), then moved to Pocket ( https://getpocket.com/ ) to take advantage of the social features, then moved back to Instapaper for no really good reason. Pocket still looks nicer and the apps are more reliable, in my experience. They both allow you to save the full text of an article to read later, as well as archiving and organizing articles you've already read. They sync…
I'm a fan of Pocket as well. It's what I use. It's also easy to quickly look up old articles I've read or to find new content to read via recommended/explore option.
Plus you've got that whole cross-platform thing.

#45I use Org Mode so I have a plain text file called todo-bookmarks.org with a list of links to the articles I want to read.

#46The Google Keep Chrome extension is a handy way to save articles that I want to read later.

#47I use a simple TXT file formatted as YAML that is a part of my organization system: https://github.com/galfarragem/superfolder
remind me of this http://danlucraft.com/blog/2008/04/plain-text-organizer/
Interesting. Nowadays I manage only three TXT files: one for bookmarks, one for notes and one for calendar/todos. Less is definitely more but having just one file is too extreme.
I 'tree shake' them agressively to be always under ~2K lines and keep them maintainable.

#49I use "Push to Kindle"[1] (available as both a browser extension and mobile app) to push articles to my Kindle for later reading. [1] http://fivefilters.org/kindle-it/
Push to Kindle is great. I've built simple CLI app [0] to send articles directly from my terminal (using Push to Kindle). It works from Gnome Shell run command prompt too.

#50I use Feedly for reading selected sites, it allows for tagging articles to organize for later reading.

Pearltrees I use to organize things I find outside of Feedly. * https://www.pearltrees.com/
Both have apps and Pearltrees has a Chrome plugin.
