It's the most boring, but a text file with the urls and a title is probably your best option. Copy and paste to browser.

Encrypt the file if you want extra security and use a good password/password manager.

I understand it's not elegant UX/UI though.

Interesting idea and I'll give it a try, though the thought of transferring over my existing bookmarks (very large) and giving many of them titles is daunting to say the least.

There might he a tool to export your bookmarks to a good standard - I'll look around. I doubt you're the first to look for this!

Edit: chrome offers to export to html - might be a better start! You can then turn that into txt or copy paste what you're interested in!

A while ago I wrote a simple script (including cli) to convert your exported bookmarks to markdown [1]. Hope it helps.

a local html file.

    <a href="link">title</a>

In Firefox, about:config network.http.sendRefererHeader = 0

If you are doing text, this is the answer.
