I tried Floccus, Linkwarden and Karakeep but ultimately settled on Linkding as it gave me the least trouble and is the only one with a browser extension that allowed me to add tags while saving a bookmark rather than having to go back in and add them after the fact.

I use linkwarden. Pretty easy to setup with docker and run behind a reverse proxy (you could probably do tailscale if that's your thing). I have it setup with a few RSS feeds to download blog updates and it seems to work well. I didn't configure it to use a local LLM so I have to manually organize my bookmarks. Usually I do that in bulk once every few weeks. I'm happy with it.
I use Nextcloud's bookmarks plugin and sync it to librewolf with floccus. On graphene I install the Nextcloud bookmarks app since floccus isn't available for ironfox

Not recommended as it will be a constant maintenance and upgrade cycle to keep it working with Firefox but you can actually setup your own Firefox server stack (not just sync, but profiles and account everything):

I've heard a lot of good regarding linkwarden.
I would recommend Floccus.
I tried Linkwarden and others, ultimately didn't want to consume half a gig of ram for this when all I need it simple bookmarks. I sync through WebDAV and use the addons in all my browsers and the app on Android. Works great.

I recently went on the same journey and decided on Floccus on WebDAV. All I wanted was a straightforward way to share my bookmarks across devices, not be locked into anything, and not have a ton of features I'd never use. Since I already had WebDAV set up, it was just a matter of installing clients.
I use Karakeep with Floccus and it works really nice.
Check shiori out. It's very minimal in terms of features, but it's a project that seems to not use LLMs at all. It has a Firefox extension and recently someone made a vibecoded android app.
Firefox natively syncs bookmarks if you're not aware, including to mobile.

Shaarli, foss, lots of integration, written in php, human developed, public lists, users, etc.
I really like Hoarder but their new interface update is trash. It looks fine on the phone though.
I just migrated linkwarden to karakeep, because with linkwarden I couldn't make it archive certain bot protected websites.
I like to use readeck. But that is mostly a read later thing, i think.

Slop features are opt-in

Tried them all, settled on Linkding too. The UI is simple and clean.
