I use tags and then the * character in the address bar to search my bookmarks.

why wikipedia? I can see reddit + pinboard.
Bookmark as reference page / community cork board. Invert the "feed" structure. Instead of going to r/whatever, see new comments on all of your saved bookmarks. Can also piggyback off / strangler fig existing website structure. Ex. bookmarks to titles on goodreads. Add in a similarity graph (people also bookmarked x), and a democratic way to merge bookmarks that point to the same object. And if you want to get really…
Why just invert, when you can offer multiple view simultaneously ? :
1- We keep the r/whatever (subject matter) stream like view
2- We can always have that enhanced "saved bookmarks" view you talked about. They are not mutually exclusive.
3- To expand on your "reference page" (Wikipedia-like) idea, the bookmarks should be more malleable: We ought to be able to collaborate on reorganizing them under different tag-systems/hierarchies (while they keep their original comments and score)
So it is 3 complementary views: stream view (current Reddit/HN link-posts), personal view (current bookmark managers), and reference view (a more structured “awesome lists”)
Most sites do have at least two (mostly 1+2), but one at least is always rudimentary (like the HN favourites). I myself tried to combine 2+3 (for a private team) using the coda raindrop pack https://coda.io/packs/raindrop-io-11475

#124I love Toby. Makes it easy to organize my bookmarks, and also view them at any time because I have them all under different categories (for example: Daily, Programming, Games, Banking, etc.)

#125back in 2010-ish we had social bookmarks like delicio.us, which was actually pretty cool and useful, I still wonder if a kind of search engine could be built on top of that kind of thing, basically a recommendation system for websites weighted more for quality than search term matching.

#128I organized my sources into a simple RSS reader I visit daily: https://altneu.me/rtr/
I love the layout and font choices (the background is a little too dark for my tastes, but at least it won't hurt the eyes on mobile).
thanks for the feedback, i get what you're saying.
i am thinking of doing the dark version too.

#129I don’t personally like to save bookmarks of articles that are one-time read. And I hate to see them shown in what ends up being a messy browser navbar.
I couldn’t find anything that suited my needs so I just went ahead and created my app that simply enables me to save links, tag them and put them in a folder so I can organise them. It uses sqlite under the hood and you can even export it if you want to keep a copy of it. If you’re interested you can find the app (currently in beta testing, iOS only) at [0].

542 tabs are ok?
With something like Tabs Outliner, they might be.
You can use also Tab Groups as well which are browser-native.
