Must have:

* cross-platform: Windows, Linux, Apple, Android.

* handle great majority of HTML/CSS "features" handled by the mainstream browsers.

* easy to use bookmarks, allowing sub-folders within folders (see below).

* allow position within each bookmark folder to be remembered on next view.

* ability to seamlessy synchronize bookmarks between versions of the brower on different machines, preferably without having to create some sort of account to do so.

* an effective ad-blocker.

Should not:

* include calendars, email clients, etc.

* have hard-coded bookmark folders like "mobile". Populate the bookmarks with top-level folders like that if you must, but allow the user to delete them. I want to organize my bookmarks my way.

All of the above is just off-the-cuff points I remember. Given time I could probably dredge up a lot more suggestions. Like treating bookmark views almost as a web-page, so you could open a bookmark with either a click (replacing the current view) or as "view in new tab". Opening a bookmark with a click would show the new page and clicking on "back" goes back to the original bookmark view.
