[WARNING]
Update from Sep 2017: This extension is currently in beta - please back up your bookmarks before installation. I've received reports from users that they have lost bookmarks. Unfortunately, I don't have any way to recover them for you - you may try to locate them among your existing bookmarks if that happens. HOWEVER, I'm keen to fix this bug, and I need your help to provide me with the steps required to reproduce the issue. If anyone encounters this issue, I would really appreciate if you could provide me (via the SUPPORT section) with the following information:
1. Chrome version number
2. OS type and version number (e.g. Windows 10, Mac OS X 10.11)
3. Version number of this extension (if you're using the latest, it's 2.1 as of now)
4. Was it a fresh install?
5. What were you doing with the extension before you lost bookmarks?*
6. Any other relevant information that would help me with diagnosing the issue
*Emphasis on #5. If you could provide me step-by-step instructions on replicating the issue especially on a freshly installed Chrome, and I'm able to successfully replicate the issue from my end, I *will* be able to figure out the issue and fix the problem.

Reviews of switchmark:
I used it for a few years and it worked pretty good, with the occasional collision with Chrome Sync where it duplicates your bookmarks. If you have a backup of your bookmarks (you should it's in %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default) With that it's easy to restore, but the issues became more frequently recently, and since there hasn't been an update in 5 years, I think it's time to look for an alternative.
does exactly what you expect
I'll give it three stars because I've been using it for 2 years, and although it's been good in the long run, it occasionally drives me crazy. Firstly, it doesn't play well with my favicon changer, and bookmarks I have that have a different favicon will sometimes disappear or teleport to a new bar. Secondly, and most recently, hence the reason I even came to the reviews, is every time I come back around the second bar is empty. I fix it, then go back around again and it's empty. I would recommend giving it a try, and I feel like it's not as buggy as when I first got it, but understand it might be hit or miss. Also, I'm sure part of the issue with syncing etc might not really be solvable, so I try to endure that.
