> Self host
That's more expensive than the 12 Euro when you factor in the time I would have to spend to do that.
> Outside of Chrome
Ok, substitute Chrome for any browser. How is this better than reading the saved webpage off of a hard disk?
> Not in a safe machine
If the machine is not safe, why am I using it at all?
> API
To do what, exactly?
> may not be using Chrome
Every browser now has a "Save webpage, complete" feature. It's not a Chrome thing.
> privacy
There's nothing more private than my hard disk.

You might have missed the point. This allows you to share saved webpages accross machines. The save webpage, complete feature saves it to your hard drive, locally. What I want is to be able to save pages from my desktop, and read them from my android phone.

I definitely missed the point; that's why I asked what the point is.
Thank you for clarifying that the thing you want that this software provides is the ability to synchronize saved content across multiple devices of different platforms.

Ok, so you disabled that in Chrome?
- You may want to access your bookmarks outside of chrome.
- You may want to access your bookmarks when you are not in a safe machine.
- You may want an API for your bookmarks.
- You may not be using chrome.
- You may care about your privacy and want to split the data stack about you among as many providers as possible.
