Reports of bookmarks mixed up have been received.
It's probably something to do with the chrome bookmark sync functionality.
It's very likely to happen when you switch the bookmarks bar while chrome is syncing the bookmarks.
At the moment, there isn't a good way to fix the issue. Because chrome doesn't provide APIs to tell when the sync starts or ends.
But one way to potentially avoid the problem is when you switch device, don't immediately switch the bookmarks bar. Give it sometime (2-3 mins) to finish the sync and then switch.

Reviews of bookmarks bar switcher:
Life Changing! I am so much more productive with this extension. I have bookmarks bars for all kinds of topics which allows me to focus on one topic at a time and minimize distractions. Minus one star for not restoring the underlying bookmark folder to its original position upon use. As-is the Most Recently Used (MRU) folder goes to the bottom of your "Other bookmarks". I would prefer it to go back to the relative position where it was initially. How to implement? I'm sure that it can be done. ?
I love it! Some extensions deserve to be a built-in feature, and this is one of them. I there was an option to assign a shortcut key combo to switch between bookmark profiles, it would be a 6 star extension ? Thanks
I use this daily to switch between 'work' and 'personal' bookmarks and it works quite well. Only issue is that the labels for each bookmark set constantly keep switching, so I have to constantly switch them back.
