I save them in the favorites. I have a Read Later folder.

I just pull them from the URL line into a directory, dragging by the icon immediately preceding the text URL. I made myself a directory named 'Rechts' where I can sort the URLs in groups in multiple levels, I can search the page titles, sort on date saved etc.
Most of all: I can do all the browser cleanup (history, bookmarks, ...) I want to do every now and then. Even reinstall Windows from scratch, to get rid of a lot of garbage in one sweep. (I keep all 'useful' files, including the Rechts directory, on other disks than C: and I've got a wizard-like tool for reinstalling all application software on C: after I have reinstalled Windows.)
The Links are included in my backup plan. They can be used with any browser (at least all those that I use). I can add supplementary files in the Rechts directory (e.g. a username/pw reminder - note that I said 'reminder', not the pw itself!)

I use Slant[^] for recommendations, and also the list with URL's under my profile to find something, it does not have any advanced searching options though.
Here are some bookmark managers[^]

Chrome has a tab at the end of the Bookmarks bar titled "Reading list".

If it's an interesting website I save it to my bookmarks.
If it is an article that I want to "save" I use CutePDF to print it to a PDF file and store it in a folder.

Instapaper works well for me (and it strips out the ads)

I highly recommend viewing this YouTube video ...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7y9GAn5KF4E 'Using Zotero and Freeplane for research'
He started using Freeplane (a mindmapping tool) to record his web and business activities, then later added Zotero to extend its capabilities.
Both Freeplane and Zotero are open-source and free, and each have their own Wikipedia entries.
From his YouTube video, follow his channel to get several more useful tips.
I maintain my Web activities chronologically in a very large single mindmap, and occasionally export interesting chunks to new mindmaps specialising in a particular category. Or zip up a small map (readable text html) and email it to a friend/colleague. The map can be searched to quickly locate any page that was annotated eg 'codeproject' or 'raspberry pi'.

Fear Of Missing Out. If I didn't bother to read it now, I'll probably never read it. Of if its important, I'll find it again. And for me, I need less online reading and more focus on what is actually productive in my life.

I use organized folders of bookmarks, and drag and drop the LOCK icon into the correct one.
So, I have one for future reading, then by topic. I add topics as I discover.
But I have experienced a few problems. One, due to censorship, I have clicked those links and been taken to alternative information or a 404 or a message telling me the article was forced down. How nice!
The biggest one, is when the link CYCLES after 90 days to a more recent topic. Not Cool!
And when I am doing research, I use an outliner, and I will store the links there, with tons of notes while I do my research.
But tons of bookmarks. The one upside is when I open a page, and I see the STAR, I know I already planned on reading this...

I use PearlTrees. I would rather have a system that allowed me to use multiple tags, rather than putting a link in multiple folders, but it works for me right now from any browser on any system.

If it doesn't come in a pdf (or a single web page) that I can rename and date, I usually don't save it. And that's only if it deals with my immediate subject of interest. Later, everything gets archived with the project (no dead links).

I use my browsers "bookmarks". Don't see what would be limiting with that, as I can easily create topics folders...

I use Chrome, It has what is called a "reading list."

NextCloud with the Bookmarks app bookmarklet, allow comments and tags.
|
|
|
|

I use Pocket (getpocket.com), with a plugin for most browsers and an iOs app, it means the items I save at my desktop are available on my phone later.
|
|
|
|
|
I use WordPad docs, can have comments and bold heading, search and click on links to open.

Thanks very much. Those look really interesting. I will check them out.

I use both Pinboard.in to store bookmarks with tags since it lets me search the full text of the link in addition to any text I include in the bookmark description
I also use Pocket for articles or pages I want to read later since it can even read them out loud on my phone using text-to-speech. It even integrates with Pinboard via an API if you want.

For things I want to read right away (sometime before I reboot) I just open in a new tab (right click, Open in new tab; or just middle click - doesn't always work, but often enough). Sometimes in a new window. This is just for one-offs. Usually, I never come back to them after reading (and no big deal if I don't read them).
For things I want to come back to more than once, I save it in Favorites and group by folders (often two levels deep, which gives me a general category and a specific sub-category/group). I also rename as appropriate. (Sometimes I use the browser collections feature, which also lets me group by name.)
For things I want to share or incorporate into my work team's flow, I have a custom app that lets me build menus of URLs, MarkDown pages, database queries, and other menus. And I put them in there (as a direct menu page or content on a MarkDown page).
I also use OneNote or Word (mostly if the context relates to an existing OneNote or Word document) and occasionally Excel.
All options but the first allow some kind of custom tagging, either by renaming, grouping, or adding other contextual information.

Today's APOD[^] has an amusing typo in the "alt" tag:
Quote: alt="The featured image shows the James Web Space Telescope
That's Webb, not Web!
