For me, problem with old bookmarks manager is that I have to make my own categories to store all items there.

It's much easier to just make bookmark without much thinking, knowing that later I can find it by keywords search. This way I'm not affraid that these bookmarks could grow as hard-to-lookup categories jungle.

Would be cool if they added tags feature, in case I want to group items.

You might want to look into Pocket if you don't know it already (getpocket.com). If it's still not satisfying your needs, you'll probably be interested in the product we launched recently. (cf profile)
Firefox has bookmark tags and it takes just one click to make a bookmark (it is put into "Unsorted bookmarks" folder, but you can usually find them through typing a relevant keyword into the URL bar)
The thing is, bookmarks were never supposed to be used that way. Bookmarks are shortcuts to frequently used sites, say for instance apps or repos. If you are looking for a way to archive links, you are better off using a service that was designed for archiving like evernote or pocket.
