Description from store xBrowserSync is a completely free and open source tool for syncing your bookmarks and browser data between your desktop browsers. xBrowserSync respects your privacy and gives you complete anonymity — no sign up is required and no personal data is ever collected. It is also completely secure; your data is encrypted client-side with military grade encryption, Even if someone intercepted your data, only you can decrypt it. xBrowserSync enriches your bookmarks with the addition of descriptions and tags. An intuitive search interface lets you find bookmarks quickly and easily, or simply browse your bookmarks hierarchy by folders. And don’t ever worry about losing your data thanks to the included back up and restore functionality. The web extension fully supports your native desktop browser bookmarking features; xBrowserSync will preserve your existing bookmarks hierarchy and any changes you make using the native bookmarking functionality are synced by xBrowserSync automatically. xBrowserSync will even add metadata to new bookmarks automatically! With the xBrowserSync mobile app you can use xBrowserSync on the go with your Android device. Once you have created a new sync on your desktop browser using the web extension, simply scan your sync ID code into the app and enter your password to connect to your synced data. Add new bookmarks easily by sharing from your favourite apps (browsers, YouTube, Spotify and any other app that shares URLs), xBrowserSync will even populate the bookmark properties for you. For ultimate privacy, configure your very own xBrowserSync cloud service on your Linux or Windows server to sync to. The code for the xBrowserSync cloud service is open source and is easy to set up for any relatively tech savvy individual. Welcome to browser syncing as it should be: secure, anonymous and free! Key features: ★ Sync bookmarks between desktop browsers (syncing of additional browser data will be added in future versions), and access bookmarks on the move using the xBrowserSync Android app. ★ Absolutely free, there are no charges for using the service.

  • (2023-07-14) Mark C M: Only works on old Android phones. I have a Galaxy Note 20, three years old and its not old enough. Uninstalling. Useless.
  • (2023-06-12) Niko Cera: 注意:同一浏览器(如Chrome 和 Chrome Beta)不要同时打开,否则同步书签会出现两份重复,建议单独打开需要同步的目标浏览器,Edge 和 Chrome 同时打开同步没有问题,除此之外,同步非常快,很方便!
  • (2023-06-02) Jürgen Reichert: Best browser synchronisation tool!
  • (2023-05-14) Maciej Zasuwa: U mnie nie działa :-(
  • (2023-04-07) Reyn Shen我是大雷: I strongly recommend adding a Chinese version. Thanks.
  • (2023-04-06) Bartek S: Everytime i want to add anything to bookmark i get sync error. I lost half a year of bookmarks by that.
  • (2023-03-27) Jon Jugston: Read all your bookmarks by DEFAULT. Which means sync replaces ALL of them. So if you want a link to appear in your another browser you MUST have all other bookmarks the same!! Otherwise, sync will replace all the bookmarks with the ones you first install the app My bookmarks are gone now, thank you!
  • (2023-03-06) Adi: Best part about it is that is encrypted and can be selfhosted.
  • (2023-02-28) Stone Oliver: 非常有用,要细心看一点点英文
  • (2023-02-01) Henry O'Mad: This is excellent but you do need to understand what you're doing before going ahead. It does give warnings. I've used it for years and not lost anything so far. Thanks.
  • (2022-11-30) Jon Boyer: CHROME >>> EDGE sync worked flawlessly despite not being officially supported, caveats to follow: 1. ALWAYS BACKUP your stuff before installing any extension...duh! 2. WARNING: reading other reviews it seems people think it will merge the new bookmarks into the old bookmarks and this is NOT the case you are copying from your first installed instance Thats this browser right here you are about to install on and create your sync ID. To whatever target you want to move your bookmarks to then you copy and paste the ID to - despite clear warnings about deletion folks still manage to misunderstand what is happening (both browsers up to date and signed into same google account on win 10) Works as advertised - bad reviews are a product of bad user input
  • (2022-11-12) ஆத்தங்கரை சண்முகம்: You lose data. A big no no!. You lose data in a way backup can't really help. Sometimes you just lose a few links sometime entire folders. You don't even know you lost it until after several days when you look for that link. Even if you take regular backups. It is too cumbersome to figure out which got lost where and trying to do a recovery. It shouldn't be hard to design something that will not lose data. If in doubt, dont sync and throw a warning and let the user decide.
  • (2022-11-08) mAIx I MIlIAN: i like it alot because its fast an vertical tab like additiion. maybe i can delete vertical tab search now . Because the Google Chrome bookmarks so lazy and weak I fight nothing there try this 10mb free it's a lot a small hinge use this hot that you have 10 times more space: xbrowsersync II https://xbsapi.cgrx.de
  • (2022-10-17) Pat MySecret: I'm hoping for something that I can add a few bookmarks to, not something that automatically reads all my junk.
  • (2022-10-15) Ichthys: syncs all my bookmarks across all me devices and web browsers (I use more than a few). I especially like how it integrates with the bookmarks bar and works as per normal. I used my main browser first to sync then turn of browser sync so it only syncs through app, after this I install extension on all web browsers and mobile app, it just works. well done to all people involved in this project.
  • (2022-10-03) Sarayut Pongsanthia: Great synce browser in market, but there is BUG it's duplicate bookmark many time got a lot of same bookmark in toolsbar Please solve it. THANKS.
  • (2022-09-20) Walter Hille Junior: Extensão F@DA! exatamente o que eu procurava, funciona em todos os navegadores. 10/10
  • (2022-08-19) Kabraxis Luvos: Ditched the extension as it currently only supports bookmarks sync. So no sync for opened tabs or tab groups. Also no support for Opera browser. I will come back eventually if these features have been added.
  • (2022-06-23) James Boswell: Fails to sync regularly on Mac Chrome. Then the Windows chrome machine ends up with duplicate links in favourites bar. Just gave up in the end.
  • (2022-06-21) John Edward Matos: Sempre que tenta adicionar um novo favorito aparece Sync Error.
  • (2022-06-19) Petrel (Petrel): Nice plug-in,But you need a Chinese language
  • (2022-06-12) Z “Move2321” Z: 同步服务不稳定,经常出现重复的书签。 官方docker服务自建也非常不好用,偏向于做平台,我只希望简单的个人同步下。
  • (2022-06-01) Joshua “Taco” Salles: I've been wanting something like this but had no idea it already existed ❤️ Hard to use Edge all the time and then use my phone with Chrome and not have the same stuff. I hope more things get added like tabs, history, site data, etc.
  • (2022-05-19) Zephyr Liqx: How to sync? I'm so confused rn
  • (2022-05-09) Dennis M.: It was a great alternative to the now defunct Xmarks, but it has begun to cause a lot of trouble syncing between Chrome and Firefox, at least on Linux; removing duplicate bookmarks with other extensions makes xBrowserSync overwrite the cleaned-up local bookmarks with the "dirty" online bookmarks. This process becomes unavoidable, memory-consuming (to the point of OOM, crashing both browsers), and has rendered the extension unusable for me, at the risk of losing previous bookmarks. It was well once, and may be again, but this bug hasn't caught enough attention, and it should. Kudos for the dev who came up with the idea, it's worth developing, and it's almost there.
  • (2022-04-05) Dragon Repairman: This extension isn't worth the time it took to write this review.
  • (2022-03-29) Adam: Sure you can find other ones that will take your data and all along with them. This is only one that is open source, no identifying info or anything. Just encryption key and sync chain
  • (2022-02-25) Eric: STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS EXTENSION IF YOUR BOOKMARKS MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU. This extension utterly and completely destroyed my bookmarks in vivaldi. I DID NOT EVEN HAVE TIME to backup before it deleted everything and replaced it with a tiny fraction of what it used to be. I have been collecting tens of thousands of bookmarks over the past decade. WHERE ARE MY BOOKMARKS. If you do not help me restore them there will be some serious problems for you and your company. Now I have to waste my entire day trying to figure out how to clean up this utter mess. This extension author should not be allowed to create extensions dealing with people's valuable information. The author should be ashamed and should immediately remove this extension from the chrome store. This developer is a real liability for anyone who does anything valuable on their computer. I have reported this extension to Google requesting that it be immediately removed from the store. I will re-iterate again that I still expect you to help me restore my library, not just some empty "sorry you lost everything, must be your fault!" response, otherwise I will be personally "reaching out" to you on a regular basis until you do. I'll say this, if your extension manages to stay on the chrome store after my report (which I doubt), you should consider re-writing the entire thing so that it doesn't have any possibility of deleting people's information. How about that? That can't be too difficult, can it? If it is, then maybe you should leave this to another, more competent developer.
  • (2022-02-10) Andre Kiwitz: The sync worked fantastic and is very fast. Thanks for this extension. The only thing: the order of my bookmarks in the folders changed, so it took me a while to rearrange them but overall a great extension. Thank you for providing it!
  • (2021-12-12) Johnny Nasello: Couldn't find the same extension for Edge browse, which is what I wanted to sync to from Chrome.
  • (2021-11-11) Lalo Martins: Yes! This is the one! Finally after all these years I can sync painlessly and without fear between browsers and platforms. Big thanks to the team.
  • (2021-10-03) Lee Adama: On first inspection it seems to work fine, you don't find out that it's actually a buggy mess until later on when entire folders of bookmarks disappear. Try and put a bookmark into a folder in Chrome or Edge ? SYNC ERROR. OVER AND OVER. Jump over to firefox and do the same thing ? No problem. Jump back to Chrome/Edge and BOOM SYNC ERROR and the entire folder disappears. These SYNC ERRORS have been happening in various circumstances for YEARS. There are OPEN ISSUES going back to 2019 about it in the github. Maybe it would be ok if you don't use CHROME or EDGE it's not like they are the two most used browsers in the world or anything.... Oh, wait they are..... I've put up with the sync errors for years waiting for them to fix it but I just lost another folder of bookmarks and I'm DONE.
  • (2021-09-29) 。,: The best bookmarks sync application on phone and pc browser. It saves me a lot of time. Thank you! 🤗🤗🤗
  • (2021-09-12) Miroslav Hrnčíř: I am using it for only few weeks in Chrome, Edge and Firefox. Sometimes when I add new bookmark it duplicates all the bookmarks. Probaly because more than 1 Chrome is running on the PC. This happened already four time during these few weeks. I have to remove it. It brings me total mess in my bookmarks instead of synchronization :-(
  • (2021-08-28) Matthew Howell: This extension this great! Unfortunately, according to their FAQ, Apple is being "pissy" with their iOS requirements. As a result, I can't use this extension on my iPhone. I've had bad luck, previously, with Android phones. That is why i now use an iPhone. I've never had good luck with Android tablets, so that's not an option either. At least the extension works on my Linux laptop. I really wish Apple would get off their "holier than thou" high horse.
  • (2021-08-01) Facundo Sueldo Celayes: Tienes que loguearte cada vez que prendes la pc, tendría que arreglarse eso si no se vuelve engorroso
  • (2021-07-29) Brian Hackett: It's a great extension! I use it with Chrome. I can find any bookmark I've saved. Thank you to the author for all the time it must have taken to development this extension.
  • (2021-06-21) Dawid Krysiak: One of the two plugins I install on all of my systems (the other one being lastpass :)). It's a bit problematic recently (06/2021) 'too many connections' error? But works eventually and I can't imagine a day's work without it.

  • (2021-04-20) Walter Bosniac: The best bookmark sync. Waiting some options in managment side.
  • (2021-04-04) DEV Tiago França: AMAZING!!!! Incrível, espetacular!!!
  • (2021-04-01) Gary Zhang: This app is absolutely what I need!!! We might need those bookmarks in the PC's browser sometimes,but not that often(I think many people feel the same way too).And this extensions can easily sync your PC's bookmarks in real time and offer an Android app so you can find them in your phone when there is an urgent need.(The most awesome part!) 这个应用程序绝对是我需要的!!我们可能有时需要用到PC浏览器中的书签,但并不是那么频繁需要(我想很多人也有同样的感觉)。这个扩展可以很容易地实时同步你电脑上的书签,并提供一个Android应用程序,这样当有紧急需要时,你可以在手机中找到它们。(最精彩的部分!)
  • (2021-03-31) Dan N: xBrowserSync works amazing!!! Great tool, I have tons of bookmarks and folder and it's a tool that I need!
  • (2021-03-30) Tim S.: Works perfectly
  • (2021-03-14) Strange Stephen: Awesome !!
  • (2021-03-09) Colin MacDiarmid: I wanted to like this, but the fact that the Update Sync button is disabled (preventing a manual sync) in both Edge and Chrome, and the sync does not happen at 15 minutes or when a browser is closed, leads me elsewhere.
  • (2021-03-06) Lincoln Morato Benevides: Best thing on browser for linux, now I only need something to sync my passwords, cuz google won't let open source browsers use their api.
  • (2021-02-27) Rob Tonks: Absolutely brilliant. Installed into Chrome and Edge on my Windows PC, followed up on my Android phone and synced perfectly. Far easier and better than any others I've used.

    Basically, I add a bookmark on my main browser, Opera and it deletes it. I add one to Chrome and it syncs it like it should. I'm not sure why it's doing this-- makes it unusable for me. Like, I'll add a bookmark on Opera and it'll say Sync issue and delete it while Chrome keeps it and syncs it with Opera like how i want it to sync

  • (2019-07-31, v:1.4.0) Notr Zant: Doesn't sync every change
    Syncing from one device's Chrome to another, I may get all the changes, or I may not. Add 6 bookmarks? Might see 6, might see 2. Uninstalled and reinstalled, tried different sync IDs...and of course I usually don't know if it's one of the random times I'm getting stuff dropped, since it usually seems to work fine and I don't check, so any losses then just get synced back to the other machine and I've lost them forever. If I can find the beta I will cautiously try that but this has already brought so much loss I would have been better off with nothing. If the beta doesn't work out I think it's only right for me to leave a review saying your data is at serious risk if you try this; I hope it does work out.
  • (2019-07-11, v:1.4.0) Chris Nagle: Not syncing after changing bookmarks
    I have installed this on Chrome and Firefox on 3 different PCs. Not syncing after changing bookmarks on 1 PC between different browser or other PCs. I add bookmarks, move bookmarks and delete bookmarks but ALL the browser revert to the previous instance where the added bookmarks are not there, the removed bookmarks are back and the moved bookmarks are changed back to the original folders. Why is this happening? I did a test and added a single bookmark on Chrome, left it overnight and it was removed.

    Hi, after having endless trouble with duplicated bookmarks I installed the 1.5beta and it SEEMS this fixed the problems. But have to test more, since I am only slowly updating all my platforms. However, one issue seems consistent ... I cannot anymore cut and paste userid and after that the password for my existing sync from my password manager. i can cut and paste the id, but the moment the browser looses focus when i go to cut and paste the password, the dropdown disappears, and with it the user id. this was not the case with 1.4 Ingo
  • (2019-02-20, v:1.4.0) Meth Methanoid: I looked at this extension AGES ago...
    Can you tell me if it syncs my bookmarks every time any change to the bookmarks is detected or at a regular interval. The former is much better and what XMarks used to do. I am hoping this is the true replacement for XMarks I have been looking for. Chrome's own Sync is 100% UNRELIABLE...... Thanks, James

Permissions: Read and change all your data on the websites you visit Is there some documentation available that explains/justifies this new requirement? So far I really like xBrowserSync. Thank-you very much and best regards! Cheers, Mark

    I would love to use this - but why does it need permission to read and change data on websites I visit? Why isn't bookmarks access enough?
