I have stuck with Delicious till now, but the YouTube founders have decided to take it in a different direction away from its core bookmarking function. I know Pinboard exists, but I can't afford a paid solution now. Does anyone know of a free service which does the same thing? All I am looking for is an extension to sync with Chrome and ability to tag my bookmarks.

How about Google Bookmarks? https://www.google.com/bookmarks/

Requires a Google account, but free beyond that.

How does Google bookmarks work with Chrome ? Is there an extension for adding labels to links ?

Google Bookmarks doesn't sync with Chrome Bookmarks. That doesn't leave it as an option then.

In my eyes, the only viable replacement for del.icio.us is Pinboard http://www.pinboard.in/. I was an active user of del.icio.us and I moved everything to pinboard http://www.pinboard.in/u:adulau (especially when del.icio.us killed the simple (and surprisingly useful) network feature).

Pinboard understood from the early beginning that regular users of bookmarking tend to prefer text-based and useful feature compared to "stack" of meaningless data. By the way, I don't get why the new delicious introduced stack of info when you can use a tag for it...

Maybe pinboard is for the power users who like tagging and the objective of the new delicious is to attract people doing "stacks" of meaningless images.
