Espial
Espial is an open-source, web-based bookmarking server.
It allows mutiple accounts, but currently intended for self-host scenarios.
The bookmarks are stored in a sqlite3 database, for ease of deployment & maintenence.
The easist way for logged-in users to add bookmarks, is with the "bookmarklet", found on the Settings page.
