    Best Android bookmarking app to save bookmarks? Suggestions? Archived Message

    I need an app that's separate/external to all browsers but which will allow me to open any bookmark in any of my browsers. I had a thing like that once but it only works (worked?) on PCs and Laptops. I haven't used it in years. Its search facility was awesome. I could just type in a word and it would offer me a bunch of saved bookmarks. Type another word and it narrowed the list further.

    These days I mainly use a smartphone - Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro. I use different browsers. I'm not impressed by any. Each saves bookmarks in a way that does not allow them to be opened in any other browser. They're fearful of the competition, presumably.

    The browsers I currently use are: 1) Brave, mainly, these days. 2) Sometimes an old favourite, Naked Browser Pro (NBP) - naked means no bells and whistles - still the best for reading text as the page self adjusts as you increase the size of the text by pinching the screen. If you do that in any other browser the text runs off the screen. NBP is No longer being updated. Still works though. 3) Firefox - a bit ordinary these days. 4) Tor - if the others don't work, e.g. on the odd occasion I want to access RT n the others won't let me.

    I feel (fear?) more and more that we live in an age where if you want to be efficient you need to be able to save and track down any bookmark easily.
