    It used to work well, I was trying to recommend this to my friend. But one day, it mess up all my bookmarks. I don't know why, it just blows up some bookmark folder after a sync operation and the orders of the bookmarks are all in chaos . I have to disable the plugin and restore from a backup. Please fix that(bug happens in firefox), you are the first one I used that perfectly sync my bookmarks between multiple chrome and firefox in multiple machines.

    Recently switched from EverSync to xBrowserSync, seems to work decently. A little buggy with Firefox's default sync which I do not want to disable because of a known issue that creates duplicate bookmarks, but easy to clean up with the Bookmark Dupes extension. Main annoyances are performances issues and not supporting native tags which get wiped out with each sync.

    Good concept to fill the big gap in cross browser bookmark synchronization, but fails to deliver a reliable solution at this time.

    More often than not, the saving of a single bookmark triggers a catastrophic failure that requires a full reimport of all bookmarks - erasing whatever it was that had just been saved.

    If you're going to try this service out, be sure you've backed up your bookmarks locally through the basic Firefox process first.

    similar one works fine with chrome, but this one has issue with firefox 64.0 on Ubuntu 18.04, the setup page showed and disappeared quickly, no way for me to enter encryption password.

    Hi there, another user with similar issues reported the following fix:

    "I was recently having this issue on my laptop with Ubuntu 18.04, with this extension and bitwarden. after a little digging it seems it was a bug with gnome-shell and password fields. after updating packages and rebooting the problem is gone. sorry I don't have the links handy at the moment but try updating, close firefox and reboot."

    Good idea, but in firefox the xbrowsersync menu only quickly blinks when I click and I have no chance of entering an ID to sync with.
