bookmarksgoogle-chromesync
I've been using Chrome's built in bookmark sync which seems to work well.
Is there a way to force Chrome to do the sync as opposed to waiting for the alloted 'sync time'?
Update: Seems to sync when I restart Chrome, so that works. Would be nice to have a "sync button" equivalent..
The quickest way may be to get another browser to import the bookmarks from chrome and export the bookmarks from that new browser. However, all such imports require an export from the Chrome Bookmark Manager, which you say doesn't work for you.
You can also use Xmarks to synchronizes your bookmarks using the extensions for both Firefox and Chrome. Xmarks also claims the ability to directly export bookmarks to HTML.
You may also be able to sync the bookmarks to your gmail account and export from there.
From How to Use Google Docs to Transfer Chrome Bookmarks to Other Browsers :
More Actions, Export. Leave all of the default settings and continue. Google will zip the contents and your computer should automatically download the compressed file called bookmarks.html.
If you have Chrome set up to open new windows as tabs, then you can edit the bookmarks as in the following example:
javascript:window.open("http://www.delicious.com/home");
This is an excellent workaround for your Bookmarks Bar, but note that it will break the favicon and give a blank page favicon.
PS, don't forget the quotation marks, and the semicolon!

Another way to make a change is to bookmark a new page and delete the bookmark. This will force chrome to sync the bookmarks.
