Just picked up the Galaxy Tab 10.1 with 4G LTE today and was annoyed to see that Verizon had included some bookmarks that couldn't be deleted via the bookmark manager nor the history screen (deselecting the star). My workaround was to setup Chrome Bookmark Sync, choose to delete existing bookmarks as part of the wizard and then reset the browser to default once it completed.
Voila! No bookmarks and no sync. Just thought I would share in case anyone else was frustrated by this.
Is the chrome bookmark sync a application part of chrome?

Yes, it is part of both the browser on PC / Linux / Mac and the Android browser. You'll find the options if you dig around in the settings.
Thanks for that fix. It was driving me nuts seeing it in the widget
Hey all,
On my S3, if I used the stock internet app, it synced all my bookmarks from my Google Chrome.
But on the S4 it doesn't do this...
Anyone know how to make it work?
I was just making a thread about this subject. I have created some bookmarks manually now but I too want to sync the stock browser with Google and not a Samsung Account.
Seems they left more stuff out because labs is gone and zoom to fit too.
I think you have to use google Chrome for that.

I know android chrome syncs with desktop chrome bookmarks, but what if i prefer stock browser?
i tried the bookmark sync apk that worked for galaxy s3 but it didnt do anything for s4
there is no "sync browser" option in google account, only "sync chrome"
anyone?
Bump...
Waiting for answer as well...

Same here...on top of that allo s4 as n7100 si missing the mail account shortcut!!! Amazing...
I used BookmarkSB to sync mine, first with Chrome and then with the stock browser. :
That's weird that this phone doesnt sync with google bookmarks, but Note2 syncs.. It's also REALLY ANNOYING!...

Hi,
How do u sync with bookmarksb, i don't see any option to restore bookmarks
thanks in advance
This is crazy you buy a phone from almost €700 and you can not synchronized your internet bookmarks.
I try again with my note2 and no problem. So it must be something with the phone i think.
I think it's only work with the chrome browser. But i dont want to used the chrome browser.

Agreed..I tried bookmarks sb although it said restored it hasn't. I guess the location of bookmarks has confused it.

It's sad. The S4 i9500 came with the standard browser and Google Chrome. Chrome syncs bookmarks fine, but no options to sync with standard browser.. And it's a shame because Samsung air gestures only work on the standard browser (and the scrolling surprisingly is pretty useful)
Can anyone help with this? Sync Google bookmarks, or will chrome be updated for gestures?
Cheers
Also looking for a solution to this :|

+1 this is driving me mad!
I swear I found an option to sync bookmarks (somewhere in menu) with google account when I bought the phone 4 weeks ago, though unsuccessful, but probably after an OTA update i couldn't find that option anymore! Maybe google did it in purpose to prevent further syncing with the stock browser, all in order to use chrome browser only. What you think about it? I had S2 before the S4 and there was no problem syncing at all.
S4 stock browser does not sign in and syncronise bookmark
I have both the s2 and the s4.
with the s2 I get all the bookmarks in the stock browser.
I have more gmail accounts and I get all the different accounts.
With s4 nothing. ...
Shouldn't they improve with new versions of the phones?!!!!
Same to me on my s2 i was able to restore them on my browser now not anymore
any resolution on this yet?
Anyone found a solution?

The one that is working for me.
On my GS3 there was the option under the Google account settings to sync Chrome boomarks with stock Android browser but on my GS4 there isn't this option. How can I sync Chrome bookmarks with default browser?
Thanks

I would love to know the answer to this to, and how to enable flash support on the default browser like how it used to work on the GS3?
Read somewhere that they removed the option. When you're rooted, you can install the AOSP browser with google sync (zip file). Should be somewhere in the themes and apps section.

I am trying to get my bookmarks on my phone from my chrome browser on my computer but there is no option in the syncing to sync with your google account. I don't wish to use the Chrome browser all the time and besides having your bookmarks in chrome from your requires you to keep sync enabled and I don't want to as that uses battery that I don't want to spend. So is there anyway to sync your stock browser with chrome from your desktop for bookmarks to be on the phone?
I just started looking into this last night myself and so far haven't found a solution. Looks like it's a known issue though... keep us posted if you find a resolution.
i use the chrome browser on my PC and the stock aosp browser on my S4. both browsers are signed in to my gmail. bookmarks sync perfectly. as a matter of fact, hyperlinks sync as well. if i view an xda thread on my device, it shows it as read on my PC.
