Just a word of caution for those ready to act on this right away: research before paying (unless the price is something you can afford to spend without thinking).
After I impulse-bought a Pinboard account (about two years ago), I realized that not always can I save a bookmark immediately—for two reasons: 1) the extension for Google Chrome was buggy to the point of UI not showing up at times, and required logging in every now and then (the extension didn't see any change until I switched to Safari much later—perhaps it was fixed afterwards), and 2) although I use Pinboard somewhat episodically, I couldn't save a bookmark a few times because their servers were down.
Even though Pinboard's UI is very clean, and I feel more confident knowing that I paid for the service, and I like privacy-by-default and clean UI, and I admire its founder, I wouldn't recommend it. The primary purpose of a bookmark manager, I realized, is to help you immediately free up your mind by storing an URL, and it trumps everything else.
