Works most of the time, sometimes it pushing all the bookmarks onto the one profile and then I need to put them all back which is a little annoying

Quando si effettua l'uso di questa estensione tra diversi chrome installati su diversi dispositivi funziona in modo scorretto. Invece di switchare la barra dei segnalibri aggiunge la barra selezionata tramite l'estensione alla barra attuale. In questo modo è utilizzabile solo se usate un unico chrome su un unico dispositivo.

For the most part, this extension does great. As mentioned by other reviewers, it has some sync issues. I've noticed this on Windows mostly when one computer has Google chrome open, but is locked. I'll have to open the bookmark manager in chrome and manually move the merged bookmarks
