I am used to use the Delayed Output Strat so I can't tell you right now what's going on for real

Yeah I'll have to search if there are any other threads for markup regions strat.

Getting the same output with the suggestion above so did a bit of searching and found this - https://processwire.com/blog/posts/processwire-2.6.8-brings-new-version-of-reno-admin-theme-and-more/#new-this-gt-halt-method-for-use-in-template-files

Adding $this->halt to the end of each case prevents the continued render when using it within _init.php (the prepended file).

This does not work if just adding to _main.php. 

This is the action area now - 

<?php
if($config->ajax && $input->post->bookmark){

  bd($input->post->bookmark); // debug with tracy, uncomment if you have it
  $bookmarkid = $sanitizer->int($input->post->bookmark);
  $action = $sanitizer->name($input->post->action);
  $bookmarks = $user->getUnformatted('bookmarks');
  switch($action) {
    case 'save': // save logic
      if(!$bookmarks->has($bookmarkid /* this was bookmark, now bookmarkid */)) {
        // add bookmark
        $bookmarks->add($bookmarkid /* same change here */);
        $user->setAndSave('bookmarks', $bookmarks);
        $message = 'Borat saved bookmark "'. $bookmark->id .'" ?';
		$this->halt(); 
      }
      else {
        $message = 'Nothing done';
      }      
      $success = true;
      break;
    case 'remove': // remove logic
      if($bookmarks->has($bookmarkid)) {
        $bookmarks->remove($bookmarkid);
        $user->setAndSave('bookmarks', $bookmarks);
        $message = 'Borat removed bookmark "'. $bookmark->id .'" ❌';
		$this->halt(); 
      } else {
        $message = 'Nothing done';
      }
      $success = true;
      break;
    default:
      $message = 'error';
      $success = false;
  }
    
 $json = array( 
    'id' => $bookmarkid,
    'action' => $action,
    'message' => $message,
    'success' => $success
  ); 
  header('Content-Type: text/json; charset=utf-8');
  echo json_encode($json);
  return;
}
?>

Now I get this within preview:

and FINALLY it now saves into the user area.

I'll even keep in borat in recognition of your input.
