Agreed. I use buku and bukuserver because I can view bookmarks on my terminal/cli in addition to the browser page.

Bookmark management is in a bad state of affairs. If I'm on my phone or misc. browser, I use Pocket. I then use 'puku' to sync my Pocket urls into buku (with tags).

I use bukubrow for Firefox as an extension.

I wish there was a better way, but for now it works.

If anyone can write an iPhone/Android app, I'd be open to collaborate on project that could optimize bookmark management.

A great product would be: browser independent extensions, cli tool, db backend, os independent, self-hosted (with option for cloud) and no requirement for a web interface.

Just my .02 cents.

@cyberge99 check out BrainTool[1]. Its a Chromium extension that allows you to capture bookmarks and notes into a hierarchical topic tree thats stored in an org-mode syntax plain text file editable w emacs or any org editor (incl Orgzly on Android). It's not browser dependent for capture and navigation (not sure how it could be) but otherwise checks your boxes.
