User reviews

Users find BookmarkHub very useful for syncing bookmarks across browsers and solving Edge sync problems. It is fast and reliable once configured. However, setting it up is difficult for users unfamiliar with GitHub, and the add-on lacks automatic sync, requiring manual upload/download. Documentation could be improved, and there are issues with handling special folders and occasional network or GitHub connection errors.

  • Solves sync issues for Edge especially in certain network environments like in China.

好用好用,很方便

It was a wee bit challenging to set up because I know nothing about GitHub, but then I saw the video on the help page and it was simple after that. The only part that took me a while to figure out was that the gist ID was in the URL after creating the secret gist. That was shown in the video, but my eyes didn't see it because I couldn't slow down the video. This extension does exactly what it says. TERRIFIC!! Thank you!
