Redditors have some suggestions in a thread over there. This is one thing that keeps me using Chrome--bookmarks and syncing of non-critical passwords across devices that I use, including my phone. It's kinda crude and can take some time to set up, but I have stored some bookmarks in Keep and can then access by logging into my own Gmail account from any browser. With the Keep extension installed you can save any site with one click of the Keep icon and then have a Bookmarks or other label set up and choose the correct label. One thing nice about this is you can add other information about the site quite easily. One thing I like about Keep is that you can click "Share" from most mobile browsers and then save the bookmark in Keep even if the browser doesn't have its own bookmarking or it won't sync with the desktop. You can't sort the list alphabetically but Google search does a great job of finding things quickly.

Have a look at https://bitwarden.com/
I don't use it myself, someone on EMD mentioned it. |

Check out:
https://www.enpass.io/ Although it's classed as a password manager, it also stores URL's so you can use instead of bookmarks. I have my Enpass synced via my FastMail file storage and it syncs with each of my devices. |

Fred's suggestion is a good one to look into. Enpass is a great password manager that I have used. My initial thinking is I would prefer to keep my passwords and my bookmarks separate. I would rarely want to log into my password manager while surfing the net, but I use my bookmarks all the time. It seems to me it would be a security vulnerability to have your password manager logged into all the time. I suppose you could use two different instances of Enpass or another password manager: one that is secure and just for important passwords, and one that is less secure and includes your bookmarks. For me that is the opposite direction to what I am trying to do with technology at the moment, which is to simplify, simplify, simplify. For example, look for ways to use one app with multiple functions instead of many apps. But, that's another discussion.
