because it's pointless. just use different browser profiles for work stuff and fun stuff.
Arrogant ignorance is a giveaway of a modern developer. There is shared content there. If you lack it doesn't mean everyone else is. My music preferences are saved as bookmarks in my browser (among other places). I want to listen to the same music both at home and at work.

I wish something similar would work for Safari. Would be great if I could share bookmarks between my personal and work computers.

Sadly, this won’t be possible until Safari supports the Bookmarks API. I remember reading a reply years ago where they said it was being worked on. However, nothing has yet to materialize. It’s anyone’s guess as to when this will be available.
My bookmark solution with folders and tags (nobody else uses it): https://marktagged.com/ No need to register, login or install anything - there's a bookmarklet on desktop and the PWA app on Android allows you to add bookmarks from the share menu. The extensions work on Android with Firefox Beta/Nightly, Mull, Fennec, Kiwi browser. You can connect to multiple bookmark stores, share bookmarks from one store to another…
looks nice.... how do you do actual encryption of the data?
In their FAQ[1] (under the heading: "How is my data encrypted? I’m concerned about submitting it to unknown and untrusted servers. Can it really not be decrypted by anyone but me?" or if you click on "Show more FAQs") they list the following: "xBrowserSync utilises the browser’s native Web Crypto library to encrypt your browser data client-side before it is transmitted over the internet. For key derivation, xBrowserS…
Why any central server? This is the thing that seems silly here, especially in a world where e.g. Syncthing exists (which is actually why I ended up looking, for a sec I thought this was a thing that worked via Syncthing) (I suppose it creates the possible need for people to have their own server/homebox to be running all the time, to which I say, uh, yeah)
Can you turn off your office workstation, go home and have your bookmarks copied by Syncthing when you turn on your laptop ?
But again -- this is one of those things that's actually pretty easy but for some reason everyone wants to make it out to be difficult. An always on raspberry pi or other repurposed machine running all the time with syncthing is not at all a difficult task.
Lost large number of bookmarks with it earlier this year.
Now use built-in browser sync instead.
