Indeed, I also realized that bookmarks are worthless on the long run. When choosing a note taking / knowledge management app, the main decision point was if it has a Firefox extension that can capture a web page into markdown and automatically save into my notes.
I used to use Joplin, lately switched to Obsidian. Both offer this functionality.
What drove you to switch to Obsidian? I'm considering it myself and have been playing around with Obsidian the past couple of days after about 4 years of Joplin, 2 of which with a self hosted Joplin Server.
I'm tired of basic features being missing and extensions breaking because they're no longer maintained, and basic features like linking between notes while writing a note not being built in.
Joplin worked great when I spent 8h+ daily on my laptop (computer with big screen and physical keyboard).
During my long sabbatical, I wanted to take notes on my phone, a LOT. Joplin sucks at that, clumsy, non-user friendly android client.
Tried obsidian (first on mobile) and it is superb. I had to install a couple extensons (S3 sync, "Ink" for drawing with a pen), and it just works. It's so good, I sometimes even edit tables on my phone. With Joplin, note taking on my phone was just dumping thoughts in random formats to it and later fixing it on my desktop.
Like Joplin, Obsidian also has a Firefox extension to capture a web page I to markdown.
So after a couple days of trial, I realized that all the features Joplin has, obsidian has it too, with a much better (and snappier) UX on both my Linux desktop and Android. The only thing I wish for of it was Open Source. But oh well, I'm not dogmatic about that anymore
