At least in iOS chrome, 113 brings with it a "fix" to the bookmark sync problem [1] they themselves recently created with the the cap on mobile bookmark sync raised to that of desktop chrome (100,000 bookmarks up from 20,000!)

- MartyMacGyver 3y agoI was one of first the "insane number of bookmarks" users on the thread after they quietly pushed this change out: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1347466#c18 https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=134746... What still galls me is that instead of doing the right and reasonable thing and making a feature flag (and adding some indication that you're over their arbitrary limit) they did the bare minimum possible short of nothing at all, replacing one arbitrary mobile limit with the arbitrary desktop limit. And their communications on this? tumbleweeds pass by... This still hasn't dropped for Android so there's no way to test it out fully yet, and if you're a user with over 100K bookmarks? Too bad, so sad, apparently.
- jdougan 3y agoIt's a reason to look for alternatives. If no one there has 100,000+ bookmarks, they can't understand their users and problem domain that well. Once Android chrome is out with the update, I'll start looking at other browsers and bookmark options.
