So for this to work you can’t have your bookmarks encrypted.
If you have your bookmarks encrypted the only way to unencrypt what’s stored on google is to go to the dashboard and go to the chrome sync area and click “Stop sync and delete data from Google”. (Make sure you desktop chrome is up to date, here and just in case backup your bookmarks) Once you verified that the request completed, symptoms go to chrome and logout and sign in again to google this will resync what’s in the browser.
You may have to clear the data and cache from the android browser. But now it should work.
Post any question or if it worked for you in the comment area.
