I've been wanting something like this but had no idea it already existed ❤️ Hard to use Edge all the time and then use my phone with Chrome and not have the same stuff. I hope more things get added like tabs, history, site data, etc.

This used to be a good extension but within the last couple of months, I have had numerous issues with it. Not syncing, reverting a recent change, and just now I added a new bookmark and it just wiped out half my bookmarks. I am using the Brave browser. I have fully uninstalled and reinstalled this as well as tried it on different computers but have had the issues occur on all systems. One common thing I notice is, if I already have a page for a site bookmarked, if I try to bookmark a different page of the same site, it commonly reverts it and gives me an error. Doesn't seem to do it for all sites, which is weird. Anyway, I can no longer use this. Also do note that this extension says it hasn't been updated since like 2020. I don't know why it suddenly stopped working. I've only been using it for about a year. I think the developer gave up on this, but thanks for the time that it did work.
