Overall, you've done good research and have come to meaningful conclusions at the beginning. It's a shame you didn't follow through with more detailed designs and a complete description of your project.

Your understanding of the problem and the principles behind your design are good. Given the cognitive burden bookmarks currently place on users, it makes a lot of sense to push this complexity to the browser instead and give users as little work to do as possible. However, generally there isn't enough detail here, particularly around information architecture. How will the browser generate the tags? Are there certain words it would have to eliminate?

Your sketches look reasonable although again it would be useful to have more detail around the interactions. How does the search work? Is there a type-ahead to help guide people toward tags the system holds (since they didn't choose the tags themselves). What happens for international users who spell words differently (eg UK "colour" vs US "color")? Also, think of unintended behaviour. Is it likely that users would look for ways to get around the fact they can't add their own tags?
