Not with the browser's own bookmarks: sync is all or nothing per browser. Bookmarks kept in Private Bookmarks never sync, because the extension has no network access. ### Do the steps differ between Windows and Mac? Only the modifier key: Ctrl on Windows, Linux and ChromeOS becomes ⌘ on a Mac. Menu paths and internal URLs are the same. ### Why do Edge pages say favorites? Microsoft Edge calls bookmarks favorites and the bar the favorites bar. Everything else, down to the Bookmarks file in the profile folder, works the same way as in Chrome. ## Sources - [Google Chrome Help: Create, view, and edit bookmarks](https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/188842) ## Other bookmark tasks - [Show the bookmarks bar](https://www.vaultforyou.app/bookmarks/show-bookmarks-bar) - [Bookmark a page](https://www.vaultforyou.app/bookmarks/add-bookmark) - [Delete bookmarks](https://www.vaultforyou.app/bookmarks/delete-bookmarks) - [Export bookmarks](https://www.vaultforyou.app/bookmarks/export-bookmarks) - [Import bookmarks](https://www.vaultforyou.app/bookmarks/import-bookmarks) - [Where bookmarks are stored](https://www.vaultforyou.app/bookmarks/where-bookmarks-are-stored) - [Restore lost bookmarks](https://www.vaultforyou.app/bookmarks/restore-bookmarks) - [Organize bookmarks](https://www.vaultforyou.app/bookmarks/organize-bookmarks) - [Edit bookmarks](https://www.vaultforyou.app/bookmarks/edit-bookmarks) - [Hide bookmarks](https://www.vaultforyou.app/bookmarks/hide-bookmarks) - [Password-protect bookmarks](https://www.vaultforyou.app/bookmarks/password-protect-bookmarks) - [All bookmark guides](https://www.vaultforyou.app/bookmarks) --- Private Bookmarks by VaultForYou is a Chrome extension made by VaultForYou.
