This seems like something I could have just done with awk, but this works so I DGAF.

I wanted to be able to bookmark things from whatever browser I’m currently using, and still have it show up in dmenu.

chrome() works with the path of any chrome bookmarks json.
surfr() works with surfraw tab-delimited bookmarks.
moz() works with mozilla places.sqlite bookmarks.

#!/bin/sh

# Bookmark locations
brave="$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/Default/Bookmarks"
surfraw="$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/surfraw/bookmarks"
firefox="$HOME/.mozilla/firefox/path/to/places.sqlite"
librewolf="$HOME/.librewolf/path/to/places.sqlite"

# Browser specific parsers

# Surfraw
surfr () {
	cut -f2,4- $1 
}

# Chrome, Chromium, Brave
chrome () {
	jq -r '.roots[] | recurse(.children[]?) | select(.type != "folder") | {url, name} | join("\n")' $1 | paste - - 
}

# Firefox, Librewolf
moz() {
	query="select moz_places.id, moz_places.url, moz_places.title, moz_bookmarks.parent from moz_places left outer join moz_bookmarks on moz_places.id = moz_bookmarks.fk;"
	sqlite3 -separator '	' "$1" "$query" | cut -f2,3
}

sr $({ chrome $brave & surfr $surfraw & moz $firefox & moz $librewolf; } | sort | awk '!x[$1]++' | dmenu -l 20 | awk '{print $1}')
