Brett Foster (ID: 000000ae6954c6e9) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 08/25/2023 Your instructions were absolutely awful and totally incorrect. I had to call tech support and it took him well over an hour to figure out how to synch the Silk browser's bookmarks with Chrome's bookmarks. It was probably over 2 hours. I forgot to check the length of the call before hanging up. The process to document it would be incredibly complex if some poor tech writer had to document it. You need to make it simple like your instructions make it sound. How can anybody make something so complex and then document it so poorly is beyond comprehension. Shame on you. I only hope it actually works as it only started the process of saying it was synching the bookmarks.
