Six options for keeping bookmarks in step across Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari, or across a work and a personal profile of one browser. Each entry says who it suits and where it stops. Facts come from each product's own documentation, checked on September 12, 2026.
Floccus and Neatlink both keep the bookmarks already in your browsers - they don't force you to change habits or file bookmarks in a new place. Pick Floccus if it's important for you to choose where the data is stored, or if you want to use your own passphrase. Pick Neatlink if Safari support among other browsers, native Mac app and minimal setup is important. BookmarkHub suits people who want GitHub or S3 as the storage backend. Raindrop.io is the choice for a tagged library rather than browser bookmarks. xBrowserSync asks for no account at all. If you use one browser and one profile everywhere, its own sync already does the job.
Most people end up with bookmarks in more than one place without deciding to. Chrome at work, Safari or Edge at home, Firefox for the one site that needs it. Often a second Chrome profile, because work requires one. Each browser keeps its own set, and none of them share.
Browser sync does not help, because it connects copies of the same browser. Chrome syncs to Chrome and Firefox to Firefox, and each profile signs into its own account. The products below take different routes around that. Most sync the bookmarks you already have to storage you nominate. One replaces browser bookmarks with a library of its own. For some people, the sync they already have is enough.
free · Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari · Mac app
For people who need the bookmark sync to support Safari and macOS, or a work and a personal Chrome profile, or want to share bookmark collections with others.
Neatlink is a free extension for Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari, with a menu-bar app for the Mac. It syncs the bookmarks already in each browser through a hidden folder in your own Google Drive. Bookmarks from your other browsers and machines arrive in Neatlink as a read-only folder per device. "Copy to Local" feature copies external browsers' bookmarks into the browser's own bookmarks - so it's great for migration from one browser to another, without having to fiddle with HTML exports and imports.
It also works between two profiles of the same browser, which the browser's own sync does not do. Install it in the work profile and the personal one, and connect both to the same Google Drive. Floccus and BookmarkHub do this too, with the same account configured in each profile. The difference is the model. They merge the two profiles into one shared set of bookmarks. Neatlink keeps each profile's bookmarks separate and shows the other's in a read-only folder, so work and personal stay distinct and you copy across what you need.
Bookmarks are encrypted on your device before upload, with a key derived from your Google sign-in. There is no passphrase to set, remember or lose. Access follows your Google account, so that sign-in is the thing to protect. Floccus takes the other route: a passphrase you set and store yourself, with the recovery risk that comes with it.
The Mac app opens with one keystroke from any application, so a bookmark saved in Firefox is one key away while you write an email. Every bookmark is also indexed in Spotlight. Search filters as you type, and the arrow keys move through results. A bookmark can sit in two folders without a second copy, and any folder can be shared as a link.
Storage is Google Drive for now. Other clouds and self-hosted storage are on the roadmap, so a Nextcloud or WebDAV user is better served today by Floccus or BookmarkHub. The phone app arrives later in 2026.
Choose Neatlink if Safari / macOS support and ease of use and setup are on your list of priorities. Choose Floccus instead if you want to pick where the data is stored, or you want an encryption passphrase.
Chrome · Edge · Firefox · Mac app with Safari
floccus.org · free · v5.10.3
For people who want to choose where their bookmarks are stored
Floccus syncs the bookmarks in Chrome, Edge, Firefox and their relatives to storage you choose: Nextcloud Bookmarks, Linkwarden, Karakeep, WebDAV, Git over HTTPS, Google Drive or Dropbox. It has iOS and Android apps.
Three limits decide whether it fits. Safari is not supported, encryption is optional: you set a passphrase, and the option exists on three of its seven backends: WebDAV, Google Drive and Dropbox. Two profiles of one browser work like two browsers: install it in each, point both at the same storage, and the two are merged into one set of bookmarks.
Stay with Floccus if
Choose Floccus if the storage is yours to pick, or you want a passphrase. Look at Neatlink if Safari or a Mac app is the reason you are reading this.
bh.memoload.com · free tier, with paid tiers for advanced features · v1.0.3
For people who want GitHub, S3 or a similar store as the storage
BookmarkHub is the closest match to Floccus in approach. It syncs browser bookmarks to a store you nominate, and the list is wide: GitHub, Gitee, GitLab, a Gist, Google Drive, OneDrive, S3-compatible storage and WebDAV. Its listing states that no registration is needed and that data is encrypted with AES-GCM before it leaves the browser.
The listing covers Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Brave, but not Safari, which its site lists as coming soon. It is a smaller project than Floccus, and there is no desktop or phone app.
Choose BookmarkHub if a Git host or object storage is where you want the data. Look at Neatlink for Safari and macOS support, or at Floccus or Neatlink for automatic syncing at no cost, which BookmarkHub offers from $3.99 a month.
xbrowsersync.org · free · v1.5.2 stable, May 2020 · builds to March 2026
For people who want no account and no identity attached to their bookmarks
xBrowserSync asks for no identity at all. There is no account, no email address and no sign-in. You get an anonymous ID and a password you choose, and its site states that no personal data is collected. You can run the server yourself if the public one does not suit you.
It ships for Chrome and Firefox, with Edge and Opera listed as roadmap items, so Safari and Edge users are not served. The stable client release is v1.5.2 from May 2020, and the server API dates from April 2021. Beta builds followed in 2022 and a new build in March 2026.
That password is what the bookmarks are encrypted with. Lose it and the bookmarks cannot be recovered.
Choose xBrowserSync if anonymity is the point, or you want to host the server yourself, or you need its Android app. Look elsewhere if you use Safari or Edge.
raindrop.io · free tier · Pro is a paid plan
For people who want to file and find links again, rather than sync them
Raindrop.io is a different kind of product. It is a library for links, with collections, tags, highlights and apps for desktop, browser and phone. The free tier covers unlimited bookmarks, unlimited collections, unlimited devices and collaboration.
The trade is that your bookmarks move house. You save into Raindrop rather than pressing the star in your browser, and the browser's own bookmarks stop being the set you use. The data sits on its servers in Frankfurt. Full-text search and saved copies of pages are on the paid plan. Raindrop's security page describes encryption in transit and makes no client-side claim, which is ordinary for a hosted service.
Choose Raindrop.io if you want tags, highlights and search over a curated library, and you save links from a phone. Look at the other options in this list if you don't want to change how you save bookmarks.
free · Chrome, Firefox, Safari with iCloud
For people who use one browser everywhere
Chrome syncs to Chrome, Firefox to Firefox, and Safari through iCloud. If you use one browser across your machines, this is already running and it handles the job without an extension. Firefox encrypts sync data so that Mozilla cannot read it. Chrome does the same only when you set a sync passphrase.
Two limits are deliberate and no setting changes them. Built-in sync does not cross between brands, and it does not cross between profiles, because each profile signs into its own account. Google documents profiles as the way to keep bookmarks, history and passwords apart. On Windows, Apple's iCloud app can mirror Safari bookmarks into Chrome, Edge and Firefox, which is the one built-in bridge between brands.
Use your browser's own sync if one brand and one profile cover everything you do. Look at the others once a second brand or a second profile is important.
Install Neatlink in Chrome, and in Safari through the Mac app, then connect both to the same Google Drive. Chrome's bookmarks show up in Neatlink on the Mac as a read-only folder, and Safari's show up in Neatlink in Chrome. Optionally, use the "Copy to Local" feature to put any of them into that browser's own bookmarks. This way, a Chrome bookmark reaches the iPhone once you copy it into Safari. A bookmark saved on the iPhone lands in Safari on the Mac, so it shows up in Neatlink in Chrome with no extra step. Floccus and BookmarkHub do not run on Safari. Raindrop.io does, but it replaces the browser's bookmarks with its own library.
Chrome Sync will not do it, because each profile is tied to its own Google account. Neatlink, Floccus and BookmarkHub all do: install the extension in both profiles and connect both to the same storage. Floccus and BookmarkHub then merge the two profiles into one shared set of bookmarks. Neatlink keeps them separate and shows each profile the other's bookmarks in a read-only folder, so a work profile and a personal one stay distinct while you copy across what you need.
