Earlier quoted context omitted.

Had an account for a while, just now really starting using it. How do you use it with Android and Firefox? The official plugin says it doesn't work with Firefox Quantum.

There's a quantum port: https://github.com/gapop/pinboard-webextension

Someone else just suggested this too, thank you. I try to just go with official plugins, don't want to invest time looking into some random person's plugin. But this one looks legit, and recommended.

Definitely. Reasonably priced, I'm the customer, and it works with Android and Firefox, which are my everyday tools.

For things that really interest me, I print out the sites as a PDF and store them locally. That bookmark can't rot, it's (moderately) searchable, and you can reference it offline.

It's an OK solution at best, but it's the best for references I really want to keep that I've found.

Not using anything other than my browser's bookmarking system (https://imgur.com/a/BsaC6ZA) I think the biggest way to maintain it is to keep a firm control on categories and subcategories - very similar to setting up folders on a file system or labels in my email. As things become less relevant, I archive them into another subfolder for things I never need to return to again.

Overall, I've never been a fan of the other types of bookmarking tools; I like the ol' fashion because its barebones and reduces the number of accounts I need - however, if you are looking to add something like tags to URLs I would suggest something else. Maybe a private subreddit?

We're still in beta, but you should check out Workona if you're looking for a work-focused solution:

Think of it as a way to save links organized in "workspaces" for a specific project or workflow rather than a traditional bookmark manager.

For example, if you were writing a blog post, you could create a workspace for the Google Doc, Wordpress page, Hemingway Editor, and all the research you might want to include in the post.

You can then shut the workspace and pick up right where you left off with everything you need to work on the blog post later. This way you don’t clutter up your bookmarks with links that will be irrelevant once you're done working on the project.
