* * * Sync disallows and reverts bookmark changes. I have a desktop PC, a VM, and a mobile device sync’d. The way Sync works on Chrome is it’s a cloud storage thing. I can go in there and modify it by any device and all devices will update. But the way Brave is treating Sync is like a primary/secondary situation where the desktop can make changes but any change on another device are discarded and not sync’d. I sync’d brave on my desktop, a VM, and an IOS device. I made bookmark changes on the VM, by moving a bookmark on the bookmarks bar to a folder. Within a short amount of time, the bookmark I’d moved appears back on the bookmarks bar. Happens multiple times. I am now unable to modify my bookmarks on the VM because they keep going back to what the primary, the desktop, has. 1. 2. 3. **Expected result:** [Version 1.11.101 Chromium: 84.0.4147.89 (Official Build) (64-bit)](https://brave.com/latest/) **Additional Information:** Brave seems much lighter/faster and better at popups than Chrome, but this issue is critical to overall functionality. This makes Brave Sync useless to me, and by extension, Brave, because I need that functionality which works in Chrome but not Brave, and may have to go back to Chrome if unfixed. Untested if this is happening on mobile devices’ Brave. ---

This morning I found the bookmark I’d moved on the primary computer had returned to its’ original spot too, so Sync v1 doesn’t even create a primary/secondary situation. It merely doesn’t allow you to make changes to your own bookmark file once sync’d. Lol. No wonder they are getting rid of it. Is there a stable version of Brave with Sync v2 I can get or is that nightly thing the only way? ---
