Before I go eventually messing up my browsers, Chromium Opera and Firefox, I want to know if these bookmarks are interchangeable.
Anybody has experience with this?
It depends on how you see interchangeable.
If you mean can I read the Chromium bookmarks into Opera/Firefox and vice versa, then the answer is yes. As indicated already, this can be easily done by using the export bookmarks and then import bookmarks. Some of the browsers might even offer a standard import functionality that can directly import bookmarks from another browser without exporting them.
If you mean if you could set these browsers up in such a way that they all share the same bookmarks file and that a new bookmark created in Firefox would automatically show up also as a bookmark in Chromium, then I have to disappoint you. This will not work as that they all have different formats for the internal bookmarks files/database. Those internal files are NOT interchangeable. It might work between Chromium and Opera (as that Opera is actually based on Chromium nowadays), but I am not sure as Opera might have made some changes to the internal structures, etc.

Thanks for the answers. For the moment I tend to concentrate on the use of Opera after a long use of chromium. The only thing missing were the bookmarks I had gathered in the run of time.
