User reviews

I've been using this extension for a long time and even though it had sync bugs, it wasn't hard to clean up all the duplicate folders it creates. This changed with the recent update. In the old version all duplicate folders were empty, and thus easy to identify with a simple hover and delete. In the current version it keeps the entire bookmark bar duplicated in one folder, and the rest of the duplicates have the first layer (folder and bookmarks) of the bookmark bar, but all folders in them are empty. Makes it annoying to go through and have to check if a subfolder is empty before i can delete it, but oh boy, doing that is super risky because of the next issue! In the old version, if you deleted the folder it was expecting to put the current bar in when swapping, it made a new folder for it. In the new version it OVERWRITES a seemingly random folder, deleting anything that was there prior. KEEP BACKUPS! AND MAKE SURE THEY ARE NOT JUST THE TOP LAYER!!! I can live with the duplicate problem, the overwriting is however a massive red flag!! Please do something about it.

Nello switch tra diversi dispositivi perde tutti i segnalibri salvati dentro le cartelle, pessimo. Utilizzabile in modo corretto solo se si usa un unico dispositivo con Chrome.

Ok... this deleted half of my bookmarks, just like all the other similar extensions. This must be an impossible task.
