I was a heavy user of Furl.net, as I've mentioned before, but was beginning to run up against trouble using it. Mainly my list was beginning to sprawl from too many categories and there's no way there to nest folders. I took another look at Spurl.net and was surprised by how much more developed it was. I use Firefox and Spurl has a sidebar that does integrate right into the browser. I think that it has a similar feature for IE. This effectively becomes a bookmarks folder that you can carry from computer to computer. Plus they have a system that recommends new sites to you based on the sites that you have currently "spurled." I've made the switch (and it was no problem to import all my Furl links to Spurl; you can also readily import bookmarks from all major browsers). I don't have the privacy concerns that you do, Bob, as I don't tend to bookmark sensitive information, so I haven't had to deal with what you describe. But in general I find Spurl a great solution to carrying links around with you, and encourage everyone to give them a look.
