Save in one browser. Find it in all of them.

Every browser will happily sync your bookmarks — to more copies of itself. Chrome syncs to Chrome through your Google account, Safari to Safari through iCloud, Firefox to Firefox, Edge to Edge through Microsoft. The moment your life crosses a vendor line — and almost everyone’s does — native sync quietly fails you, and you’re back to emailing yourself links. Marqly syncs bookmarks at the account level instead: extensions for all four major browsers, a web app for everything else, and an iOS app, all reading and writing one library. Save anywhere, find everywhere.

Why native bookmark sync breaks down

Native sync isn’t broken; it’s territorial. Each vendor built sync to keep you inside its browser, so every system stops precisely at the vendor’s edge. And the setup that crosses those edges isn’t exotic — it’s the default modern arrangement: Edge or Chrome mandated on the work machine, a different browser by choice at home, Safari on the iPhone because it’s an iPhone.

Run that setup on native sync and you don’t have a bookmark library — you have three partial ones, each missing whatever you saved in the other two contexts. The link you need is reliably in the silo you’re not sitting at. People patch this with self-addressed emails, a Notes file of pasted URLs, or a chat channel with themselves; all of it is sync built out of duct tape.

Account-based sync, browser-neutral

Marqly’s model is the boring, correct one: your library lives in your account, not in any browser’s profile. One free account, then sign in from every surface you use — the Chrome extension, the dedicated Edge add-on, the Firefox add-on, the Safari extension, the web app at app.marqly.com from any machine, and the iOS app on iPhone. A save made in any of them appears in all of them.

The day-to-day rhythm this enables is the whole point. Tuesday afternoon at work, you tab-save an entire research session in Edge — every open tab committed to the library in one action. Tuesday night on the couch, you pull one of those pages up on your iPhone by describing it. Thursday, on your personal laptop in Firefox, the same saves are waiting with their tags and summaries already attached. Nothing was exported, forwarded, or copied; you just signed in.

And it’s the whole save that syncs, not a bare URL. Marqly’s AI tags every save automatically and attaches a summary; highlights you make on a page sync to your library; boards keep project collections together — and a board can even be shared as a public page anyone can view without an account. Because the library is account-wide, semantic search works account-wide too: describe what you remember — “that video about sourdough starters” — and Marqly matches meaning across titles, content, highlights, and transcripts, no matter which browser did the saving. The details are in our guide to searching bookmarks with AI.

Merge the libraries you already have

If you’ve lived the three-silo life, you’re holding several disconnected bookmark sets right now. Consolidating them is mechanical: every major browser — Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari — exports bookmarks as a standard HTML file, and Marqly imports that format directly. Export from each browser, import each file, done; the walkthrough in how to import Chrome bookmarks covers the flow, and Pocket exports and Raindrop.io collections import too.

The import is also where the AI earns its keep: every incoming bookmark gets tagged and processed, so the merged pile arrives as an organized, searchable library rather than a bigger mess. Years of fragmented saving become one collection in an afternoon.

Getting started

1. Create a free account at app.marqly.com — no card required. Pro, if you want it later, is $48 a year (about $4 a month billed annually) or $8 monthly, with a 7-day free trial.
2. Install the extension in each browser you actually use: Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari — and sign in to each.
3. Add the iOS app on your iPhone with the same account.
4. Export bookmarks from each browser as HTML and import them, merging your silos into one library.

Two honest limits. First, there’s no Android app — the web app works in Android browsers, so an Android phone reaches the same library, but without a native app. Second, Marqly has no offline mode: sync here means your library is available wherever you sign in, not a local mirror on every device. If your browsing genuinely never leaves one vendor’s ecosystem, that vendor’s free native sync may be all you need. For everyone whose work browser and home browser disagree — which is most people — account-level sync is the fix, and the free tier lets you prove it with your own bookmarks before paying anything.
