This bookmarklet is a slightly modified version of Lifehacker's GMailThis bookmarklet. I tweaked the code by renaming some of the variables and re-writing the final output. The code is not my own it has only been tweaked slightly to work with Google Bookmarks rather than Google Mail.
After I mentioned Google Bookmarks yesterday I sat down and started bookmarking a handful of sites to be part of today's "To Do" list. While using the bookmarklet, made available by Google, I started to get annoyed by the need to constantly tab around to enter data. I was already familiar with Lifehackers GMailThis bookmarklet but because I'm not interested in bookmarking to my GMail account it didn't really appeal to me - except for part of it's "supercharged" feature. Ultimately I decided to tweak the GMailThis bookmark to fit my own needs.

When I first downloaded Google Browser Sync a few months back I really wasn't very impressed. While it was certainly helpful there were some bugs in it that really bogged it down.
Last week, while rebuilding my Portable Apps Suite installation I thought I'd give it another go. Right now I work across three computers where I am free to install my own stuff and a couple where I'm fairly restricted. Despite being unable to install Firefox I can certainly run it off a USB or SD card - the issue was just keeping my bookmarks up-to-date. After re-installing Google Browser Sync on my three primary PCs and setting it up on my USB Firefox install I'm happy to say everything is working great!
Anytime I boot Firefox on any of my machines (or from my USB drive) all the bookmarks I've collected on ANY of those computers are available to me. If I add a bookmark while at work - it's on my home PC as soon as I start Firefox.
Besides being able to sync my bookmarks and personal data I also learned that Google Browser Sync will sync notes taken in Google Notebook. Trust me, it's a great feature.
Setting up Browser Sync does require having a Google Account - but who doesn't these days?
