Chrome is making this play to limit the functionality in browsers such as Vivaldi, Brave, etc.
maybe its good after all to have a different service that provides a private store ( in dropbox etc) for bookmarks.
Dropbox (and others) can take care of the syncing.
- jfk13 6y agoNot sure I'd care to recommend Dropbox after just seeing https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25789603 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25789603.
- j1elo 6y agoXmarks was great for that. It just worked, and I liked that it was independent of the browser in question, so the same bookmarks could be shared and synced with Firefox and Chrome. But it disappeared... we cannot have nice things!
- smarx007 6y agoxBrowserSync is not as nice (frequent full re-syncs) but still syncs bookmarks between Chrome & co. and Firefox. Had to switch to it after Xmarks was discontinued.

- axaxs 6y agoBrave doesn't use sign in functionality for syncing. Unsure about Vivaldi.
- LinAGKar 6y agoVivaldi have their own accounts, and so does Opera and Edge. The biggest impact is for Linux distros which have Chromium in the repos, since they can't redistribute Chrome.
- canofbars 6y agoThey can get it working but they choose not to because they want to be the source for all software. On fedora I can see chrome in the gnome software app and it says the source is googles own servers.
