If you're willing to tag things so you can find them later, then https://pinboard.in If you're not then don't store them, just google them when you need them. That will either help you find the link you wanted, or it will find you something better, because the world has moved on since then.
I'm also a bit allergic to using some external service to do this -- that seems like a pointless loss of control to me.
(I use Online Bookmarks http://www.frech.ch/online-bookmarks/ for this)

Wholeheartedly agree with this. I've been very happy with pinboard, the one area that could use improvement is on the mobile side: it's a bit annoying to set a new bookmark in a mobile browser.
At what point do bookmarks essentially become an internet of your own making? I guess you need to create a search engine so you can search your bookmark collection, or maybe a Yahoo style directory to browse them. Or... Stop collecting the internet and give your brain a break from data overload. There is a certain flavour of FOMO that keeps tabs open forever and bookmark lists getting huge. Let go of it all. There wi…
Yeah, good luck with that. Most of the things I bookmark are things that were really hard to find in the first place. Google isn't much help with stuff like that.

Except with google it’s becoming impossible to find links from several years ago. Unless I remember exactly the right keywords and maybe the website name... How is this FOMO? The entire point of bookmarks is “maybe I’ll come back later to this”. Bookmarks let you save content that you come across that may not be relevant at this time, but could be useful later. There is no penalty for saving pages because space is vi…
Google (and related services, such as youtube) allows you to use before:YYYY-MM-DD and after:YYYY-MM-DD to only show results that were created before or after a certain date.

But after search got good, it got bad. Or at least increasingly strained by the sheer magnitude of shit now online.
It's still better than the early 2000's, which is the last time I really needed "bookmarks."
A while back someone on here posted a reply to a similar question for me - and it was one of those 'road to Damascus' moments for me. The poster pointed out that we should not have to bookmark - that why do our own browsers not simply record every site we visits (and even cache the text for alter searching). Its technically trivial. But we all have this blind spot - that it is perfectly reasonable for massive corpora…
I don't think this is reasonable at all.

You don't necessarily have to tag them, if you pay a bit extra for full-text archive, then import your browser's bookmarks.
EDIT: Looks like Pinboard does this already! Mea culpa.
