Default Chrome Alternatives?

I've had it with the maddening "App Shelf" that Google has pushed down
to Windows users. No relief in sight for Desktop users so far as I can
see.

My problem with migration to another browser is my extensive Chrome
bookmarks collection - which I use under both Windows and Android.

Can anybody aim me at an unbundled bookmark manager that I could use
under both systems?

My kneejerk says "Xmarks". Looks like they claim to run under Android,
but I don't know about importing from Chrome.

Has anybody been here?

Firefox as a browser?

My only input is: I found a great program (or usable at least) called
Transmute. It moves bookmarks from browser to browser. Free. IIRC
there is a paid version. The free version just wipes out the old
bookmarks. I use it now and then to copy Chrome to IE, Just in case
I'm using IE and want that bookmark. I only do it like every 4 months
or so.
