I had the same problem with ICS on my Nexus S before,
but once I changed to encrypted only pw it fixed the problem.
However, my new View tablet on HC still cannot sync any bookmarks with only encrypted pw.
How to fix that?
It is quite frustrating using the browser without any saved bookmarks..
No one else has the same problem?

How do u do this exactly? Do I need to have an HTC account?. I wanted to just copy the android bookmarks folder to my pc for backup but I couldn't find the folder, so I may have to use your technique.
Same problem here, bookmarks don't sync. I only see "Other bookmarks" folder after enabling the sync in browser's settings

Anybody knows how to do this ?
My idea is that I have some internet bookmarks on my device, and I want these automatically synched with my google/gmail account.
So if I flash my Flyer and make a full wipe , I want my internet bookmarks automatically uploaded into my Flyer just like my contacts would.
Any ideas or tips ?
Thanks
that's a good question...I'm also interested to import firefox bookmarks from my computer into flayer bookmarks.....

Ok here is my idea
I use IE as my default browser and it`s got it`s own bookmarks , now I want to install Chrome on my PC as well but as for the bookmarks , I would like to transfer the Bookmarks I created on my Flyer into the Chrome . So that all my Flyer bokmarks are transferred to Chrome and Chrome synches it with my other HTC phones automatically.
Now the question is , where is my bookmarks stored in Flyer
Has anyone got the stock browser to sync with Chrome bookmarks? I have it setup but it's not working. I tried clearing everything out and setting up again, still didn't work. Are there any good apps that can sync or import my bookmarks (and other browser data too, preferably) I tried ChromeMarks Lite, it worked but they only show up in the app, not in the actual browser.
Anyone? Bueller?

I can't get the bookmarks syncing to work either. I tried both the delete-and-sync from chrome, and the keep-device-bookmarks-and-then-sync. No actual syncing happens. Does this actually work for anyone, if so- how?
I think this might be a general problem, not just limited to the Prime...
No joy. I was going to post this issue as well.
When I go into Accounts in settings & select to sync Browser the sync icon spins then stops & never updates the date & bookmarks are never sync'd from Chrome/Google account
its a known honeycomb bug.
Mine used to fully sync, now only a few folders sync, seems random.
bookmarks to sd works well in syncing google bookmarks to stock browser or dolphin.
Same problem here. Bookmarks gets stuck on syncing, but everything else syncs fine. If it's a known Honeycomb bug, I guess I'll just wait for ICS.
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?
Same here. Would like to know. Mind you ICS is here soon

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 had this problem too I had to clear my chrome sync data on my Google account clear the data on the Internet app and then sign in and out of chrome. Make sure you are only encrypting your passwords in chrome.

Oh fantastic!
It worked.
For anyone else who stumbles across this thread, what I did was...
In google chrome settings via a computer, There is a hyperlink to google dashboard. Go there and down to Chrome Sync, I reset and deleted chrome data. (Don't worry, it doesn't delete your bookmarks, picasa, or gmail). Then it reset Chrome so that it was not "encrypt all data" and instead is now "encrypt with password", like you said.
Problem fixed.
Thank you so much!
Is it possible to sync both my personal laptop and work PC to chrome? I have my laptop syncing to my primary gmail account and my work PC to my secondary gmail. Can I sync both computers to the same gmail and maintain separate, unique settings for each?

In chrome settings, disable syncing to whichever account you want to let go. Then sign back in with the correct account.
Then, under the syncing options, you can chose what exactly to sync; Browsing history, extensions, bookmarks, etc.
So, yes.

If I am understanding correctly, I can sign into both machines using a single email (gmail account) and they will both stay synced separately? Just want to make sure I'm retaining all of my synced settings for both machines. Thanks for the clarification.
What I don't like about this is that it merges all bookmarks and items in the bookmark bar. I wish it would keep them separate by device. Not practical with the work computer...

Worked perfectly. Thank you.
fixed finally
On my sensation it seems that "reset Chrome so that it was not "encrypt all data" and instead is now "encrypt password" is what repaired my "internet sync" problem.
Thank you!

This worked for me too! I previously had had chrome. Had to get a new galaxy 3. I redownloaded chrome on the new phone and deleted sync data from my desktop then signed back in to chrome on desktop as well . Went back to my phone and hit sync internet and it worked.
I've had the same problem on my SGS3 so I decided to look it up on here. The fix is fine and all, but what exactly does syncing "Internet" do anyway?
Android and Desktop Chrome Sync
I know this is a little old, but I found this thread after having sync problems as well. So I thought I'd post the fix.
I assume you are using chrome on both devices.
you can have encryption on everything and still sync across devices, but you have to have the encryption set the same on both, and use either the passphrase or the google account option, but again it must be the same on both (all?) devices.
I failed to change the setting on my phone when on my desktop browser I reset syncing to encrypt everything, not just passwords.
On your chrome browser for android go into "settings" then tap account name at top then "sync" then "encryption" then match whatever you did on the desktop, and everything should work again.
there's really no reason not to encrypt everything IMHO

Tell your work computer not to sync certain things. like bookmarks. It's how I have mine set up. I sync everything except bookmarks and extensions
Swyped on my EVO LTE
I still want to know what syncing "Internet" actually does.
Had this problem on both my GS2 and my HTC ONE.
Only thing that worked was going to "Google Dashboard" from your computer web browser
Find "Chrome Sync", and click on "Stop sync and delete data from Google"
Refresh your Internet Sync on your Android.

I only use the stock browser, so I wouldn't know, but any browser that syncs with your google account will have the same issue.
for me the issue is slightly different.
my google account bookmarks syncs well on chrome pc and chrome and chrome beta on my android devices (2tabs and phone)...
but it doesn't work for stock browser on any of them. stock browser doesn't sync with server from a month.
already tried to reset data on server...and tried to disactivate and restart syncing on each device. nothing worked.
i set to encrypt only passwords..

I have motorola defy running CM10, and I can sync chrome bookmarks using chrome for android. But the app is a bit laggy on defy, so I am using stock android browser and here is a method to sync bookmark between chrome browsers and android browser:
When you go to Android browser it only shows your local bookmarks. Whenever you try to go to settings -> accounts and sync it says that there is a problem in Sync Browser, yet it doesn’t say what exactly the problem is. If you have faced this problem here is the solution you were continuously looking for.
How to Fix Sync Browser Problem in Android?
I identify this problem as a bug when interfacing different Google products. The root cause of problem is Google desktop browser supports encryption for all data types while Android browser supports only for passwords. If you have already encrypted entire data only thing you can do is clear all the data and start it again with only password encryption. Here is how to do it and sync Chrome bookmarks with Android browser.
Go to Google Dashboard confirming your password.
Scroll down to section chrome sync and click on Stop sync and delete data from Google.
This will delete entire synced browser data in Google account and it might take few minutes.
Now open Google chrome, go to Settings.
There you can find sign in section. Click sign in to chrome. Here you will have to generate Application specific password if you have enabled Two Step verification.
Then it will take you to Confirm sync settings window.
Click advance and make sure you have selected encrypt passwords only. If you encrypt all synced data android browser won’t be able to work with them.
Click OK to proceed with syncing.
In your android Smartphone go to Settings -> Apps -> All -> browser and Clear data.
Now go to Settings -> Accounts & sync. You will be able to see Sync browser is working fine now.
Open the browser and go to Bookmarks. Now you can see all the Bookmarks that you have in desktop browser in your Android Smartphone browser as well.

I had this issue before, i did what you said, it worked. Now just few days ago, as i wiped chrome sync/restarted it, the stock browser sync started to fail again.
Problem is i DID NOT select ENCRYPT ALL, only passwords, yet it definitly refuse to sync, no matter how many time i delete/restart sync on chrome, wipe data on android..
I know it's an old post,but... Thank you! This thing bothered me for last week.I didn't do anything,just changed rom from cm10.1 to paranoid and this sh.t happened.

This sync browser solution it's only for Android 4.0 and 4.1 not for gingerbread.
You need to use an special .apk that is men't to do just that. I thinkbit called ChromeBookmarSync.apk or something like that. Just google "AOSP browser without root" and you will fibd it. I can't give you any links becouse im on mobile, but you will find it.
