All these syncers lack one important feature: local-only or otherwise visibility-managed bookmarks/folders. I don’t want my hentai preferences to be synced to my office and I don’t want all these company’s business bookmarks bs at home staring at me ruining my weekend mood.
I only want to sync a handful of specific folders: documentation, tools, localhost:ports, and few common mail/yt/github/etc, which are actually shared.
But they sync them all, and show them all. It’s like a dropbox, but it always syncs all your disks.

- wruza 4y agoIt doesn’t have too many upvotes, probably a time-ranking issue. Sorry if it annoyed you, but using profiles implies that all my browsers support them and they are easy to use/maintain. Changing browsers would break other workflows and patterns, which is not worth it for me.
- throwaway0x7E6 4y agobecause it's pointless. just use different browser profiles for work stuff and fun stuff.
- xnickb 4y agoArrogant ignorance is a giveaway of a modern developer. There is shared content there. If you lack it doesn't mean everyone else is. My music preferences are saved as bookmarks in my browser (among other places). I want to listen to the same music both at home and at work.

- attentive 4y agoYou can have different sync ids on xbrowsersync for completely isolated bookmarks. As for "staring at work bookmarks" - put them in a subfolder.
