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.

How do you force Chrome or Dolphin to reload a page? On a PC, ctrl+F5 will force a page to reload, ignoring any part of it that was saved in cache. How do you do the same in Chrome for Android or Dolphin? I've spent some time Googling this, but all I get a pages about Chrome for PC.
Hope anyone can help me.....
I can not set the default browser on the S4 to be CHROME. NO matter how many times I set this to the default browser it always prompts me to select one or always anytime a url is clicked.
I cleared all the stock default browser, downloaded an app to make sure that CHROME was the default app and it said it was. Still prompts me to select the Chrome or stock browser.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks to anyone that can help me.
I'm using a OP5T with rooted OOS.
I'm encountering a problem where tapping URLs in certain apps (Boost for Reddit, FB Messenger, Tapatalk, etc) won't open my Chrome browser, but will take me back to my launcher with the "Google Play Store has stopped"
I have quadruple-checked that Chrome is set as the default link handler, have denied Play Store from opening any URLs that arent play.google.com, cleared cache/data, rebooted etc, but the error still persists.
I've found people having a similar issue, but in their instances it was them being taken to a Play Store listing for shady software instead of the correct URL (due to malware). In my case, it seems like the phone is trying to go to PS instead of Chrome, then crashing PS when it can't complete the request.
Any ideas?
Hi Everyone,
I've set Chrome as my default browser but every few hours all links start to open once more in the Oppo Browser.
In the settings it's still set to Chrome. To change it back to Chrome I have to select the oppo browser again and then switch back to Chrome. Then it works again for another few hours.
Cheers for any advice
Regards
Eoin
Just uninsatall the oppo browser with this post : https://forum.xda-developers.com/find-X/how-to/guide-adb-oppo-x-apps-safe-to-uninstall-t3818165
Cheers for the reply, I found it was reverting when twitter links opened in the stock browser. Set Twitter and YouTube up to open in the relevant app and it's fixed the problem.
