If you use Google Bookmarks, but haven't signed in recently, you should know that "After September 30th 2021, Google Bookmarks will no longer be supported." Ever so slowly Google has been pulling one service after another over the years, but admittedly, most of the services they've been pulling are their least used services. Though, it was one of my handiest tools at my disposal.
If you need to keep your bookmarks, you can export them NOW, (See bottom of your bookmarks pae) which saves them in the form of an html page of links.
If you need online bookmarks, there are quite a few alternatives out there to Google Bookmarks.
GGather (Web): Classic, Feature-Rich Alternative to Google Bookmarks
The free version lets you import up to 2000 bookmarks, and you'll have to upgrade to pro for more.

I'm going to go check out Raindrop.IO. It's free (with a paid version) and opensource. It has an amazingly simple process for signing up and importing those Google bookmarks you just saved out!
When you import, you have a choice of ALL, ONLY NEW, or START FROM SCRATCH. (I'm hoping "new" doesn't go back too far, considering how many bookmarks I had!!!)
The import kept all my tags and imported ALMOST ALL of my bookmarks. Buggers...
But you can also have collections, which would allow me to start a new 'collection' of a cleaner set of bookmarks, versus the mess I was accumulating.
When you click on a bookmark, the default is to open a pane in the raindrop window. But that's easily changeable under your settings options.
At the moment, it looks like Raindrop.io will fit the bill with ease of use, and accessible from any web interface (AKA, not locked down to Chrome, Firefox or any other browser).
