Two way bookmark sync between Google Chrome and Chromium Edge?
I've enjoyed using Chromium Edge as my main work browser, but prefer to keep using Google Chrome as my personal browser. However, I'd like to use my current Google Chrome bookmarks in Chromium Edge, ...

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

akhator it's been 2 years since your comment and the other thread is closed. So why has this feature not been enabled? I use Google Chrome for everything personal and for work Edge is the preferred browser so when can we turn on the 2 way sync?
darrynbrooking A few hiccups where it will not let me add new bookmarks at times without restarting the browser first, but still works better the Edge sync for me (it is terrible, losing changes and restoring old deletions all the time).
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!
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
