A browser and its bookmarks are my personal window to the world, I wouldn't enable a feature like sync for love or money. What a crazy idea: hey ad company, here is everything I bookmarked that I wouldn't dare even mention to my closest confidants

FWIW, although this isn't on by default, Chrome can be configured to encrypt all sync data, either with your Google password (which Google hopefully doesn't store) or a separate, offline, password.

  Google doesn't need to store it; you POST it to google.com several times each month. They can get it whenever they need it.

    Sure. But they do also allow a completely separate password.

Firefox Sync encrypts all data client-side; Mozilla has no way to read it. Chrome also supports client-side encryption as an optional feature using an additional passphrase.

It seems rather trivial compared to Google's being able to read one's emails or Imgur having access to one's finest and most artistic of dick pics.
