| 2024-02-27 | Avery Noir | | The best bookmark synchronization add-on you can find. Secure, anonymous and easy to use. The theme could use an update. Is this still maintained? The last update was four years ago. |
| 2024-02-12 | Firefox user 14635814 | | The syncing between Firefox and Chrome worked pretty well, but some weird stuff happened. I had backed up my bookmarks before use. The Firefox Places database got a cluster of new separators in the Bookmarks Toolbar, and lost some others. (This may have something to do with the fact that Chrome does not have separators.) Firefox Bookmarks Manager stopped working - I could not add or delete anything. Restarting Firefox was not helpful, though the cluster of separators was reduced to one. I opened about:support, and verified the integrity of the database (there's a button far down the page); the database was intact, but the problem remained. I then tried clearing the Startup Cache (This button is at the top of the about:support page.) Bookmark Manager started working again. It's a little inconvenient for my intended pattern of use. I have to log out of the accounts with Mozilla and Google to ensure it will work properly. That's not compatible with other uses I have for Chrome, so you have to shut down the native sync functions, run xBrowserSync, and then shut it down and turn the native sync functions back on. I'm not sure I want to keep using it. |

| 2023-10-17 | johngto455 | | Install/setup well done worked smoothly considering crossing several different browsers. Privacy seems important to dev team/Company which other companies use as a advertising tag line. Hopefully the positive experience continues with daily use. |

| 2023-08-18 | Firefox user 18021687 | | Keeping my bookmarks, history, and tabs synced across devices seamlessly. It's user-friendly and reliable, ensuring I never miss a beat when switching between platforms. If you value organization and convenience, this extension is a must-have for staying in sync without a hitch. |
