Default [Q] Problems with bookmarks in stock browser

I'm having some issues with the stock browser's boomarks. First they won't sync with my chrome bookmarks even though it's selected in the browser settings and account setting for my gmail shows browser syncing. Also when manually adding bookmarks they don't show up in the app itself, only on the widget.
Anyone know how i can get my bookmarks to work?

It is a known bug that Google has decided not to fix in Honeycomb for whatever reason:

You can use Opera Mobile instead which has "Opera Link" feature which syncs bookmarks OR use Chromemarks from the market. Hopefully ICS will fix it or I will be very upset.

Got the ICS update on my Prime and instead of fixing the bookmark sync, they removed it completely. Boo Google!

No they didn't. Click your account name at the top of the bookmark screen, and your synced bookmarks will drop down. I swear, you people will complain about anything.

Accounts Sync settings shows "Sync Browser" is not syncing up. The last sync date as 7/12/2012 (sometime in the future). Every time I manually start a sync I get the message: "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly" but only for Sync Browser.

I think I fixed mine. Stop the sync from the tablet. Then in Chrome on the desktop, go to options then click go to dashboard. Find Chrome Sync and choose to Stop sync and delete data from Google. Refresh the page until that is done. Then go to tablet and enable sync again. Then go back to Chrome on desktop and sign in to start sync again.

I just wanted to thank you for this! My ICS Bookmarks hadn't synched in 3 months until now!
