Del.icio.us used to be really good. It's a shame they got acquired and shut down. I don't think there is anything that does a good job with bookmarking today.
"Social bookmarking" started with deli.co.us and has largely been subsumed by reddit.
Beyond some level of complexity, Evernote, Obsidian, Notion, etc become bookmarking tools
...but the ultimate place to find the bookmark managers are in the Chrome and Firefox extension stores:

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/search/bookmark?_category...
There doesn't seem to be any money at all in this space, and any really groundbreaking innovation will be folded in by the browser vendors, so I don't expect there to be much more thwn what's already here.
If you’re developing a reading habit in 2023, give it a try.

I've used the Collections[1] feature in Edge for this. It essentially acts as a one level deep folder where you can store links and text notes related to a subject. It also has built-in support for sharing. Disclaimer: I work at Microsoft, but not in Edge. [1]: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/organize-...
I've been strongly preferring methods that let me tag items and have a good search - either in addition to or instead of putting them in a folder. If I don't like the "taxonomy" I can just add more tags, instead of constantly trying to figure out the one folder where everything should go.
I can share by creating an additional visitor user, or use the import/export commands. I hope those get built into the UI sometime, but I rarely share more than a single bookmark at a time.
It is an extra step to copy/paste links into Shiori versus browser built-in features, but I prefer not to trust or rely on browsers for my bookmarks unless at work. Seems like everyone wants sync those to accounts without my explicit consent.
Also - make use of your address bar’s search functionality. Bookmarking as implemented is still useful.
Seems like something a librarian might enjoy though heh.
The need has been mostly eliminated for many people with the ability to search.
