Converting a web page to Org mode to include in my notes
There is an extension called Grasp which acts as a web clipper, you highlight the relevant part & add a tag. It's pretty great. But it only appends to a file. https://github.com/karlicoss/grasp

How to organize bookmarks using emacs?
I use grasp to capture links from the browser. It also captures any text you have selected on the page and you can add tags and a description.

I centralize and distribute my bookmarks
I'm not using browser bookmarks anymore, instead I am just using plaintext files (org-mode in my case). When I want to make a bookmark I use grasp [0] to simply capture in in the 'links.org' file, possibly with some notes/selected text and tags. Now and then I would skim through this file, refile the most important/interesting things to other files, and put the rest into 'later.org' (things I might never look at again :) ). The upside is that bookmarks become alive this way, you can easily edit them, add more context, interlink, etc.
I also mirror saved items from other services (e.g. reddit/HN/twitter/instapaper) as plaintext org-mode files, via orger [1].
Then, all of this feeds into Promensia [0] [1], a tool I wrote that serves as a web browsing copilot and surfaces my bookmarks (or any relevant links, really) when I'm browsing.
That way I don't need to worry about spending too much time processing bookmarks and that I'd never read them, I can just read the most interesting stuff and the rest is searchable (so I use it as a knowledge base/personal search engine), and surfaces in my browser via Promnesia, so I can find out if I have some relevant information in my knowledge base without actively searching. I don't need to suffer from vendor lock-in (even if the service/tool is open, migration is always painful), I can just add another adapter to my system and feed it into Promnesia/Orger.

Phase II of "Opinions for developing a browser extension(Firefox)"
In tech terms, behind the scene, yes is complex, but in practical terms just see https://github.com/karlicoss/grasp/ :-)

How do you browse the Internet?
Grasp (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/grasp and https://beepb00p.xyz/grasp.html for the system/python listener) and Promnesia (https://beepb00p.xyz/promnesia.html) help me "import" quick bookmarks to org-mode (I can't use org-protocol with firejail, at least I have to tweak firejail and I never tried to do so). They demand a small effort (perhaps a quick python venv somewhere in the home to remain self-contained) but they are helpful.

How do you get feedback from your systems?
for reading, I'm currently trying to set up elfeed and come sort of capture like grasp. My idea is to use org-mode to also log those things (kinda) effortless.

any tips for better reaching the { } [ ] ` \ keys? as as programmer i find it really hard to quickly reach them and i often make lots of mistakes
No. I do not have any single arrow combo in my workflow. For complex text editing I use this that gives me an emacs window on any text field. And if something, maybe like moving windows left/right up/down I remap the shortcuts to remove the arrows part and add the vim like keys hjkl

Can I use xdotool (or another program) to cut the contents of a text field to the clipboard?
If anyone is curious, I'd use the command in conjunction with emacs-anywhere to paste the contents on an Emacs window, and then paste it again on the text field with my edits. And yes, I am aware that atomic-chrome can do that, but it doesn't work with every website and I'd like a solution that does not depend on how any particular browser and website is coded.

if you're on macOS and you love Vim so much that you want it anywhere 🔥️🔥️🔥️
Better solution: https://github.com/cknadler/vim-anywhere, for neovim users (and probably vim users) you can utilize some apple script as well: https://blog.schembri.me/post/neovim-everywhere-on-macos/. For those of you who want to try org-mode and evil, https://github.com/tecosaur/emacs-everywhere is awesome. And if you don't want to use an editor, a similar project (using Hammerspoon) is available here: https://github.com/dbalatero/VimMode.spoon
