Does anyone know if there is a self-hosted bookmark manager that has integration with Firefox/Chrome/Brave where I can import all my bookmarks?

I have started doing something completely different than using bookmarks. I set up yacy on a personal, internal server at my home, which I can access from all my devices, since they are always on my wireguard vpn.
Yacy is actually a distributed search engine, but I run in ‘Robinson mode’ as a private peer, to keep it isolated, as I just want a personal search of only sites I have indexed.
Anytime I come across something of interest, I index it with yacy, using a a depth of 0 (since I only want to index that one page, not the whole site). This way, I can just go to my search site, and search for something, and anything related that I’ve indexed before pops up. I found this works way better than trying to manage bookmarks with descriptions and tags.
Also, yacy will keep a cache of the content which is great if the site ever goes offline or changes.
If I need to browse, I can go use yacy’s admin tools to see all the urls I have indexed.
I have been using this for several months and I am using this way more than I ever used my bookmarks.
This is a pretty solid approach and definitely out of the box thinking. Going to give this a shot for sure, I especially like that your approach is searchable and cached like you said.
I use Linkding, which even as an android workaround for mobile. I have no idea if it works with brave, but does work with Firefox/chrome !
It’s pretty cool piece of software, but something it’s missing is a way to groupe tags together or have some folder structure.
If you don’t have a tag structure beforehead, your tags can quickly get messy :/!
it works with brave
I am using linkding for my bookmarks. Used LinkAce before. linkding is perfect for my minimalistic taste. I just miss having an app for it. There’s an app for linkding for iOS, though.
I’m also looking into this a bit as I’m ditching Nextcloud and need a more modulare approach to managing the three things i care about: calendards, files and bookmarks. Sorted calendars with Radicale (superb) and files with Syncthing but now looking at the bookmarks. This (https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted?tab=readme-ov-file#bookmarks-and-link-sharing) has several solutions proposed. lingding and linkwarden seem to be good and reasonable active on Github. Anyone compared these?
I have tested both lingding and linkwarden. Lingding was easy to use and did the basics in bookmark management. Though I settled on linkwarden for its saving of webpages in different formats with folder and subfolder organisation in the UI.
Both are good options, but linkwarden seem to be more power user focused.
I use floccus. Works with nextcloud or any webdav, even gdrive.
I can’t get my second browser to connect to my existing account. I set up using Chrome, but in the Firefox extension it says “No Accounts Here” when I go into the Addon options. I don’t see any way to connect to an existing account. I only see “New account” or the import button which leads to
“Import a file with exported accounts here to re-create accounts exported on a different device or browser. Please make sure to set the correct sync folders again after importing.”
I setup Floccus on Vivaldi and tried it now with Firefox… Works fine
I use it with Nextcloud but as WebDAV setup. Be careful with the paths! If you use a subfolder don’t add / at the beginning.
I’ll double-check my path.
