Not without creating an account, on Android.

Chrome has no other export functionality. And firefox copied that lack-of-feature without even realizing the motivations.

So now one have to copy them one by one.

I must be misunderstanding something here, can you please explain the missing feature?

I load a set of bookmarks into Firefox on client machines regularly, but I suspect this isn’t what you are discussing.

I'm are talking firefox/chrome for android only. The only way to export bookmarks (and possibly import) is to register for an account and sync them.

There is no way to export them to an xml/whatever file (pretty sure you could at least in firefox before, but I guess it was too hard to maintain...).

Or create an account?
Surf with chrome logged in? Will never happen. Hard no as long as my sanity remains.

Firefox, maybe, haven't looked into it and just the process of evaluating it isn't worth it. Mozilla doesn't have the track record that I want to blindly trust them with that either.
