ES File Explorer can do it on both Windows and Linux if you have it installed on your Android phone.

Yes it can but the free version on playstore is adware and bloated now. MiXplorer is comparable to, nay, even better than, its Pro (paid) version.

Does Mixplorer has a feature where it can share files on mobile by opening a url in browser on pc? Reading its description seems that it does but not sure whether/how well it works & if any additional requirement like specific browser on pc etc.

Check WiFi file transfer/explorer for that.

Using the one in Xplore File Manager. I've been using the file system since my S60 days and feel it's the best file manager(although the UI is dated now).

To use PushBullet, one needs to be connected to internet. Its better to use File Managers on android phones like Solid Explorer by giving access to a particular directory on the PC and transfer the files. To connect, one can create a hotspot on PC and connect from phone by switching on Wifi on the phone and selecting the PC's hotspot network.
No need to use Xender/ShareIt like apps anymore.
