Plus one for raindrop. Main reason i decided to pay for it is the caching of the bookmarks. Quite a lot of my bookmarks are no longer available after some time.
Yeah that's the main reason for Press It plugin. You can create a bookmarklet that should work in the most browsers. I use it in Chrome, it also grabs page title and some content from the page and prefills it.
Also I use this instance of WordPress like a scrapbook and dump all kind of information in there. While reading books on phone or iPad, I can add quotes from them. Android app is pretty good for this. Also I take photo notes for example while shopping for something in a physical store, I can add pictures of them to a post etc and then review later. Once a month or so, I download backup.
Assuming by your non-specific 'bookmarks', you mean Browser Bookmarks:
Periodically, (meaning 'when I remember') I save my current browser bookmarks as a .html file in a specific 'bookmarks' folder in my 'Documents' directory. These files get named 'bookmarks_YYMMDD', thus they are automatically sorted by date.
Being .html files, they are automatically also plain text files, and can be searched easily using standard tools like 'grep'.
xbrowsersync is my best find in the past year. Opensource, decentralized public syncing servers or you can build your own. It does not save passwords (that's good or bad depending on your perspective :). It is not available in IOS due to developer fees.

Mainly for the function to send to my kindle for less eye strain.
(Shameless Plug): I am developing a sharable bookmarking app that allows sharing of bookmarks:

What are you guys saving that's so important to you?
Searchable, accessible from anywhere, and I own it, no worries about service shutting down.
