another vote for pinboard.in. Some features that make it well worth the full cost:

- Cached snapshots

- search bookmarks by actual boolean operations on tags, which is something hardly anyone does for reasons I've never understood.

- Fast, simple website. Everything that was good about 1999.

- Browser integrations for every browser worth mentioning

- OS integration for quick search outside of a browser

- mobile apps aplenty (i use Pinner on iOS)

- fully private bookmarks, if you want (which I do)

- nice API (I have some silly python scripts that give me tag statistics and clean things up; they took about 20 minutes to write)

- it's a one-man show, and he answers emails!

- tarball-of-all-your-data on demand.

+1 for pinboard.in

I have been using it for years and all my bookmarks are private. I love that it is very minimal, with exactly the features I need, and doesn't tie me to a browser. It has an API, plenty of apps and browser plugins, and I've always found Matiej to be responsive whenever I've had a problem.

He also has a great twitter account, where he spends a lot of time being snarky about tech companies [1].

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

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.

If you mean social bookmarking, I don't do that. If I find something interesting I share it on HN (happens really rarely) or on the chat of the "newsroom" for our podcast. If it's stuff that I need to bookmark for further personal use, I have an owncloud (yes, I know) instance with the Bookmarks app installed.

> yes, I know I don't. Would you clue me in?

Slightly debated topic, but most people who used to use it have gone to Nextcloud (a fork) since it has more frequent updates and a few new features.

How do you integrate with Firefox? Their plugin says it doesn't work with Firefox Quantum. (Or is that one not worth mentioning? ;)

I've been a devoted FF guy for 15 years, so I sure think it counts!

There's a quantum port: https://github.com/gapop/pinboard-webextension (also available by looking through firefox plugins, but i'm linking to the source for clarity)
