    Raindrop is a great alternative to Instapaper, it has a clean UI, many customization features, and easy to use, all for free. It allows basic search for saved bookmarks, which Instapaper has weirdly disabled unless you pay them.

    Raindrop is so much better. It's still actively developed, has a robust feature set with both tags AND folders, and is available across multiple platforms.

    Self-hosted, Open Source -- data is owned by users. It can import data from Pocket and others and can export (download) content in several different formats. I especially like the sense of total control with no risk of the service just disappearing.
