Can anyone recommend a way to share bookmarks between Firefox and Chrome across multiple devices? (lemm.ee)

I'm using Firefox more as my first choice, but I can't get away from Chrome completely because of work. I still consider my Chrome bookmarks the "master" and occasionally sync them to Firefox. I would like to be able to bookmark something while in Firefox and then have it available from my other devices using either browser. Is there a way to have my bookmarks stored in a common location, like Google Drive, and accessed from either browser? I tried Floccus with Google Drive as the location but I can't get it to work.

I use Raindrop.io. https://raindrop.io

There are phone apps and browser plugins. I use the free version and set my home page and new tab page to the favorites folder.

I use multiple browsers for work plus an iPad and phone. This allows bookmarks anywhere. It’s great.

Edit: fix typo.

Checking this out. I'm a Diigo user but kinda seems like it's dying and the app is no longer stable on android so looking for an out. Looking for something that will let me import my giant diigo library though.

You could use xBrowserSync (Firefox, Chrome). It's also available on Iceraven for android (Firefox fork)

The most convenient option would be to use an extension that syncs bookmarks. I don’t have one to suggest but there are definitely a couple of them that do exactly that.

I tried using extensions for a few years and all of them sucked. Then I started using a web-based service to hold them. Then I gave up and basically only use FF with its native sync now.
