Nah. If you want to be outraged at Google, at least be correct.
This has to do with Google "collections", not synced bookmarks. Afaik, collections are a thing you only access on mobile through the google app, this doesn't even have anything to do with Chrome.
If you run chrome on mobile, for example, you don't have access to the collections. It's only through the google app.
Almost certain they monitor collections because they can be shared with public.
You can access through google.com/save
That's not a function of chrome though, I can do that on any browser.
Thats's what I meant by posting the link, you can access it anywhere.
Okay sure but that's not a service that google is explicitly providing and hosting on their server. Bookmarks are saved locally.
