I tried to solve a similar problem semi-recently. I do not bookmark at all, I never remember to but I have similar hatred for the history UI + implementation as you wrote here about the bookmark UI (perhaps Arc browser will innovate here?)
This annoyance lead to me writing a little app called Wisplight which uses privacy-friendly local full-text-search over my browser history. So I 1. never had to remember to manually save my links somewhere (the reason I dislike all the bookmark apps out there) and 2. can search more than just the titles and use proper indexing rather than simple partial exact text matching like browsers do.
I'm considering open sourcing it soon, once I've perfected the user interface designs...
FYI, you can run SingleFile from the command line, see https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/single-file-cli. This might be an interesting alternative to wget. The SingleFile extension also has some options to help you automatically save the pages you bookmark.
I'm currently using Raindrop.io (paid subscription) and they do archiving and highlights. I also have an Obsidian plugin that syncs the bookmarks to my Obsidian vault, but it currently doesn't include the page's content.
Self hosting wallabag on a VPS or on your own NAS (your own PC even) may be of interest as its precisely what it does. Its a bookmark system but it stores the contents when you bookmark it, archiving what it is you read/wanted to read. Its interface is better than firefox since its dedicated to the task. They also run a service that you can sign up for too so you don't have to work out how to run it yourself.
