How can I move bookmarks from one browser to another?

barbra drizin asks:

I am switching from Safari to Google Chrome after reading the MakeUseOf article on Chrome apps. How do I switch my bookmarks that I saved on Safari to Google Chrome or to another browser? Thank you!

I was VERY late to even check this out (thought I had my own better system) but I must say when I finally gave it a shot, I was impressed.

Why import/export when you can Sync!

Bookmark Flash is the simplest way. Import bookmarks to it with just one click , then you can grab and share bookmarks from Chrome, FireFox, Safari, Opera, Maxthon and IE.
