Alternative for Linkman?

Hi,

I've been using Linkman (Pro) on Windows for ages. It's a bookmark managing tool which stores all bookmarks in a local sqlite database.
It supports tagging, comments and multiple browsers (for getting a bookmark from them and opening one in a new tab).

I don't know how to replace it if I switch to linux completely...

I do need:
- A browser independent solution (so no internal bookmark system of e.g. Firefox or Chromium)
- Tagging support. All my bookmarks are tagged with several tags. I need to find them by a part of their tag(s)
E.g. typing "brow" should already show all bookmarks which are tagged with anything that begins with "brow" like "browser"
- An initial import mechanism (I do not want to create 7000 bookmarks by hand...)

I don't want to:
- Expose my bookmarks to anyone but myself (so no "social" sharing...)

I'd like to:
- Not use wine / mono to let Linkman run by that
- Keep them local and sync them by other means than just handing it to a cloud solution
If there is no other possibility than a cloud solution I could live with that restriction...

Xmarks isn't an alternative for me, Lastpass was already hacked...

Any suggestions?
