Bookmarking Sites on the Cloud

About a month ago I was given a beautiful new laptop - something that happens every three year. Pre-Covid-19 I often left it at work and came home to a new device - not to mention I also am on my smartphone a lot. For those reasons I do not like bookmarking on my laptop as it ties me to one device.

For years I have been bookmarking using Diigo. It is a cloud based app that can be reached on any device. I also use it for sites where I have passwords. No I don't leave the actual password, but give myself cryptic reminders which are enough for me. Plus the site allows you to check a box so no one else can see your bookmarks.

But you can go from your bookmark and see others who have saved the site and see what they are publicly saving which can lead you to hundreds of new useful discoveries.
