I think (for me) the issue is not overwriting I can achieve that easy enough, but its 'merging' my bookmarks from different browsers that I really need.
I use different browsers (Chrome & Edge) when at home, on phone, at work etc. and favourites get saved across 2 platforms, so overwriting one with the other does not help.
I might look into merging them as text files on Linux CLI.

asecret900 xBrowserSync to sync between chromium types (i.e. Egde vs Chrome) and the built in browser sync (i.e. Google or MS) to sync between platforms(Windows vs Android). Despite warnings in the xBrowserSync readme that it can cause duplicate bookmark entries, it hasn't happened for me yet.
Messing with the files is a fools errand IMO since their formats are, however slightly, different.

yep agree completely and I dont really want to go there. Just mourning the loss of Xmarks is all... It was great... It just worked

darrynbrooking , So far xBrowserSync seems to do the job after only 3days trialing. Fingers crossed 🙂
Thanks for the tip!

darrynbrooking Trying xBrowserSync now. I use Chrome and Edge as well, plus sync for Edge favorites is so broken for me, I have to try something else!
