I'm using Wallabag (previously called Poche) on a daily basis from early times on both desktop and mobile. Wallabag is way much better than Pocket and Instapaper, believe me, I used them all. This app is a must for privacy concerned users.

Not an actual bookmark manager, basically like the “add to reading list” functionality in web browsers for articles.

It works, but… It takes ≈20 sec on my Orange Pi to start. Too much code for PHP parser/interpreter

Review from a new or low-activity account — shown here, but not counted in the app rating.

Best alternative to Omnivore I can find.

Similar to Pocket, but you can (optionally) host your own server. Less polished, but it does the job: You can save pages to read later, and you know your bookmarking choices aren't being fed into a recommendation algorithm.

Setting up the extensions and mobile apps can be a bit clunky, but you should only have to do it once per device/app.

Installed the browser extension, was asked to configure it with info from my account and, yecchh, found myself lost in a technological wasteland. Sorry; if your system confuses a 40+ year veteran of IT, good luck.
