Yes, I read that thread. My use case is the same as the one of the
OP of the thread you referenced: Being able to bookmark a web page
and visit that page again in a different Emacs session, using the
usual commands defined in bookmark.el (if using eww bookmarks, I
would have to learn new kebindings and list bookmarks in different
buffer than *Bookmark List*).
By the way, I can't imagine installing a third-party library for
such a simple feature.

I went through what eww info manual says on bookmarks and used
those bookmarks once to understand what is the provided feature; I
can't find anything not available from standard bookmarks. Can you
give details on what would be lost if eww used bookmarks.el?

May be use `browse-url-default-browser`, but it's a different
discussion IMOH; The current need is to make the user life simpler
with a single place to search their bookmarks and don't ask them
to learn a second set of key bindings, manage a new file
containing bookmarks and configure news hooks in case they want to
customize their bookmark list appearance...
Note that in the same direction there's a proposal to base
bookmark list on `tabulated-list-mode`
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2020-01/msg01319.html.

An HTML document may have a "title" element; Isn't it possible to
use the value of that element when available? And the URL
otherwise.
I apologize I've not found time to check your patch right now;
I'll try it in the forthcoming days.
