Ask HN: Why haven't bookmarks been re-invented?

Perhaps I'm not in the know, but I find it hard to imagine that we encounter a site, we bookmark it into what's often a poorly self-curated / organized taxonomy, and then rarely ever go back to it, what do other people do to manage their bookmarks, or to even share them? I love "awesome lists" as well, which are often just a bunch of well organized bookmarks anyways, so what do people do that's better than this?

I organized my sources into a simple RSS reader I visit daily: https://altneu.me/rtr/

One effect of the massive complexity of web standards is lack of innovation and competition in the browser space.

Bookmarks mostly get implemented in the browser, and going for big market-share drives the UI and features toward targeting the lowest common denominator. Some people out there don't know the difference between facebook or google and the WWW itself.

I still use Firefox in part because the bookmark tagging and the awesomebar work marginally better than what Chrome does.

Browsers and web UI have gotten dumbed down since even the more power-user oriented days of Firefox and prevalence of RSS.

For people suffering from terminal tabbitis (I hit 7.5k), I can recommend the one-tab extension.
