  10. LinkAce

    A self-hosted archive that asks the Internet Archive to keep a copy of each saved link and notifies you when a site moves. It is closer to a bookmark archive than a reading app, so it fits people who want link backups over a reading queue.

  13. Floccus

    Also runs on Android, iOS. Syncs bookmarks and tabs across browsers, iOS and Android under MPL-2.0, storing the sync data on a server you choose. It is a sync tool rather than a tagging or search manager, so it is the weakest fit for bookmark management here.
