Hi, I am wondering what would be the best method to synchronize the many hundreds of bookmarks I have on my desktop PC and on my laptop without having problems with duplicates.
I'm a student, so I work on my slow laptop at school during the day and on my much faster desktop at home during the evening. If I use in-browser sync, I get countless duplicates everywhere due to different folder or bookmark names, and without sync it's very troublesome to have to manually add or delete every single bookmark I worked with on the other computer.
I was previously using Firefox on both PCs, but I turned off sync because it caused very annoying lag every time I added or deleted a bookmark. It was also a gigantic pain to remove duplicates, because many of my equivalent bookmark folders do not share the exact same name and content. There seems to be no way to ONLY sync the bookmarks that I didn't already have on either PC.
Right now, I'm using chrome on both of my pcs because firefox, even without any plugins or extensions, was using too much memory for productive use (I only have 2gb of RAM on my laptop). I also don't have the built-in sync enabled because it's actually more troublesome and time-consuming than manual syncing in my case.I know you can import/export specific bookmarks and exclude others by editing the HTML file, but it's even more trouble than what I'm already doing.
So, How do people working on several computers with unidentical bookmark libraries keep their stuff up to date and organized without spending hours to delete duplicates and without renaming hundreds of folders and subfolders?
Also, why can't web browsers allow to only sync specific folders or to setup folder update priorities?
