Do you know if there is a free trial for pinboard.in? It seems that you can't try it out without providing your credit card information, which is a UX no-go for me.
I wanted the simplest way to save bookmarks, with a single click like i do in the browser, so i made this: https://pinplz.com
You can browse chronologically (blog-like), by tag, by domain, leave notes. It also saves the referrer of the bookmark, which is handy when i can't remember where i found the link.
WordPress. Not simple to setup or free but once it is setup, it is pretty simple to use.
I use bookmarklet on desktop and WordPress app on phone to post anything interesting to my bookmarks blog. It is pretty easy to search. Sometimes I use tags but usually not. It appears to be a messy collection of links, videos, quotes. But it works great for my purposes.
I recently found out about Larder.io[1]. It nicely integrates with github stars, web clipper and has an API. I like it for it's simplicity as most of these tools are way too much for simple bookmarking.
I posted about an extension I built to help me manage my bookmarks yesterday. It sends you an email of all the bookmarks you make for that day at the end of a day (similar to a news letter). You can find it at linkdrop.co
It sounds like you are more concerned with management than rediscovery, though, so it might not solve your usecase. In that case, I would definitely recommend getpocket.com for saving bookmarks across browsers/machines.
I maintain a static HTML file with all my bookmarks, which also includes embedded search boxes for Google, Wikipedia, etc. It forms a much better home page + new tab page than anything else. File is automatically sync'd between various devices using variois tools.
Related question - how many bookmarks do you have and how do you use them? Because for my use I don't see a point of doing anything fancier that Ctrl-D to bookmark and keeping them in <5 folders in my browser.
I am archiving many links in my desktop browser (about 50 folders with various subfolders and each with a dozen links). The problem is that I would also like to have them available on mobile devices. Sure, most of the time you will not need them again. But with increasing regularity I am remembering that I was reading something interesting somewhere and want to have a look again, but can't find it in the web anymore. Then, you can figure out more easily where you read it when having appropriate and well-structured bookmarks.
I recently spring clean my bookmark to bare essentials, because I found that I rarely use them anymore. If I want to read something, I save it to Pocket. RSS+Feedly for sites that I want to follow. For site that I want to keep for historical purpose, I save the url and screenshot in Google Keep, label it, archive and forget, without cluttering the bookmark.
Actually, I also use this method (keep-archive) in Google Keep for keeping other site too (the 'archive' button is so satisfying to use. It lifts the burden to manage bookmark out of your head, and I know the information is there, in my Google Keep, if I want to see it again (Note: I don't)
For sites I use frequently, I put it in new tab screen using chrome extension called Toby. If it start to accumulate, then I review it, discard it, or save it in specific label in Google keep.
Funnily the another me deep inside somehow agree with you lol. I even think about it while archiving 'Do I really need it in the future?'
However as a neat freak, archiving things, put it out of sight, gives me a bit peace of mind. With bookmark, I still see its accumulated through time and always feel the need to do something about it, even it not necessary.
Maybe one day I will realize and decide that all the thing I save is just nonsense and throw everything away. One day...:)
However, to prevent the time-expensive and often difficult-to-answer question 'Do I really need it in the future?', I'm archiving (more or less) everything.
Concerning your archiving method, I am suggesting: Create a folder in your bookmarks called 'Archive'. A psychological trick to reduce mental burden similar to the archive button in Google Keep :)

Also note that it doesn't inject any third party javascript

I believe bookmarks (or something similar) have still its place in an increasingly digital world.
