I'm getting frustrated with the way Chrome bookmarks are set up. Can anyone tell me how to make something a bookmark on my mobile and desktop bookmarks simultaneously? Whenever I add it to one group, it removes it from the other. I currently found a compromise by having my mobile version show the desktop bookmarks, but most of them are sites I do not access on any device other than my laptop. This is a very poor design, so I'm sure someone has figured out a workaround by now.
Try an app called "cmarks" to sync chrome bookmark both way
hope this helps.

I have a similar issue, I use bookmarks, not some mobile and some desktop bookmarks. I access all my websites on both my phone, tablet and pc.
I would like my phone and tablet to stop showing me the Mobile Bookmarks as default and instead show me the Desktop Bookmarks, because I keep and manage all my bookmarks on my desktop only. Not having to manage multiple sets of bookmarks is why I sync in the first place .
Now, I might be daft since I have not figured this out by myself, but Google has not been much help to me either.
Anyone got at tip? I run Stock JB 4.1.2 with latest Chrome browser on Samsung Galaxy S2. My tablet is an ipad with Chrome browser.
Thanks!

I want all the folders supported in Dolphin, not just 500 bookmarks that aren't in folders.
I am also trying to sync my chrome contacts.
I stumbled upon this and am also having trouble finding a way to do that easily. Or at all as a matter of fact.
you may want to look at "google bookmarks assister2" its a free app that will sync you google bookmarks. Now it doesn't sync them with a browser app it will show the bookmarks in that application and you can launch them from there and it does give folders so it isn't to bad. I had some trouble getting it to sync correctly but after I did it worked pretty nice. Hope this helped good luck.
anyone found anything to do this? if i had all my bookmarks i could seriously use my tablet as a laptop/desktop replacement.
google bookmarks != chrome bookmarks (which are still synced to the cloud... there must be a way of syncing)
It would be really nice to sync the bookmarks from Chrome with the Android browser. Will look in the market..

Have you tried Xmarks? It's not free (you have to pay a $1/m subscription fee to get the Android app to let you login. see: http://buy.xmarks.com/premium.php), but it will automatically sync your bookmarks to Android, as well as between computers and browsers, and it stores them all online.

thats isnt the same thing as what we are talking about. We are talking about syncing 50+ bookmarks at times. with chrome to phone you would have to send each one then bookmark each one. That could take a while
PhoneMarks, great app

I can vouch for this. It synced every app that was in the specified folder rather fast. I definitely needed this.
ChromeMarks (Lite/free - if you're satisfied with 1 way sync => PC to phone)
thank you for the help
I just tried PhoneMarks. I setup it up to sync with the default android browser, then went into dolphin HD\bookmarks to SD to sync from android browser to google bookmarks, then synced google bookmarks to dolphin. long story short, my chrome bookmarks are finally on my phone. thanks for the tip.
I'd love to try chromemarks, but I fear giving that many permissions to an app, that should be a stock feature. :/
I'm sure in time I'll just do it.
questions:
does it sync folders as well?
and does it just show up in the browser bookmarks, or do you have to click the app icon or whatever?
Phonemarks moves the bookmarks to recently visited on Samsung phones. Melt.
If you do however, go into most visited and untap the yellow favs star then click it again it'll add it to favourites.
Can't believe google didn't had that damn feature on last 2.x updates..! PhoneMarks, what would be the danger to use it exactly..?
What is the name of the feature that gives you a tab on your internet browser and that allows you to send information to your cell phone? Thanks a lot to the people on here who really do help and arent douche bags.
Chrome to phone

And android2cloud does the opposite--you can share a web page from your phone to the app which, when the extension is installed in chrome, opens the tabs you sent from your phone when you (get home and) open your browser.
there is also one for Firefox.
called
fox to phone
same people make it I believe.
And then you have the Firefox desktop sync and android browser.
yummmm
i would like to realize an application to synchronize google chrome bookmarks with my phone.
no problem realizing the application. the only problem is: how can i download data from google server? how can i get the list of bookmarks from google chrome server?
From what I heard, they used to have them available in the google docs website. However, they're making some changes and the synced bookmarks are not currently accessible.
I occasionally use an app called (I think) Chrome to Windows Phone which is useful for sending one link at a time - but like you say it would be great to have a complete sync like e.g. XMarks does for desktop browsers.
It might be worth contact XMarks to see if they would open their API for you to write a phone app.

xmark is a browser extension. i think it's possible to realize an extension, but my idea was an http request like you can do with google bookmarks.
an extension won't allow me to access data from the device anytime i want (or i can do it using a webserver)
You might want to take a look at chromepush.com as well.
Similar app
There is a similar application for Android:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.h.chromemarks&hl=ru
It will be great, if any alternative will be released for WP7!!

This site is not working already. Maybe url or program name changed?
There is already an app for this called Chrome Bookmarks

I recently released an app that does that - it talks directly to Google's servers using the native Chrome sync protocol. It syncs down open Tabs, Bookmarks and recently accessed web pages. It is available in the marketplace under "Chrync" - there is an unlimited trial, and I've no problem with people using it without paying for as long as they like.
I've also released a beta of a new version, which works when you have sync encryption enabled in Chrome. It also (optionally) syncs passwords, lets you pin bookmarks and folders, and lets you search bookmarks, passwords and recent URLs. Info on the beta at chrync.com/beta1-1/

nice
This is driving me nuts.. anyone come up with a way to import their xml or htm file from firefox to get their bookmarks into their Infuse 4G? I've had several other Android phones and MyBookmarks by Rerware has always worked, but for some reason when I import the bookmarks, it says "88 Bookmarks Imported" which is correct, but then when I open my browser there are NO bookmarks.
Anyone know what causes this and if there are any workarounds?
Thanks!
Doesn't Firefox Mobile have Firefox Sync (built into the desktop versions of Firefox 4 & up)? Seems like the easiest way to me.

Don't wanna use firefox on my phone, i want to use the native browser. If there's really no easy way to transfer bookmarks that's a huge downside to Android. ugh. :-(
How the hell do I get my chrome bookmarks in the stock browser like my tablet has! I purchased the app chromemarks thinking it would do it. But it will only let me access my bookmarks not transfer them to the stock browser. So i have to open the app first then auto tranafered to the browser.
If someone can shine some light at this. It will be appreciated and thanked
Might be a part of the ics update.

I doubt the stock browser would do it, but a different browser can. Currently you can't use it on our phone because the browser requires ICS, but chrome for android allows syncing.
Even though I do use chrome on my desktop, I read about the firefox beta today and it has that feature between the firefox desktop browser, so I might switch back to firefox for now.
