Find your bookmarks in Chrome for Android
Chrome is the default browser of many Android terminals, so it seems only right to start with it. If you use Chrome and do not know how to access the favorites saved in the latter, do this: start the app by pressing on its icon on the home screen or on the screen with the list of all the applications installed on the device, tap the button It is located at the top right of the browser toolbar and select the item Add to Wishlist give the menu to compare.

Even though you have turned on bookmark sync on your computer, can't find the bookmarks you have saved in Chrome from your PC? Don't panic, probably in the Chrome settings on Android there is some option disabled that prevents you from viewing the bookmarks saved by Windows or macOS.
To remedy the problem, press the ⋮ button in Chrome for Android and access the Settings of the app. Then press on you don't know present at the top of the screen that opens, then on the item Synchronization and, if not, put the check mark next to the option Synchronize everything (if you want to sync all Chrome settings with your PC, including bookmarks) or next to the option Add to Wishlist, if you want to sync only the bookmarks and other settings of your preference (which you can always choose from the same menu). Now wait a few seconds and you should see your PC's saved favorites appear in the Android version of Chrome.
If in the menu Settings Chrome does not find your name, but the option Log in to Chrome, it means that the browser is not yet associated with your Google account. Then press on the item in question and log in with your Google account data (the same one you use in Chrome on your computer). Once logged in, activate the synchronization of your favorites as explained above. If any steps are not clear to you and / or you want some more information on how to synchronize Chrome bookmarks, consult the tutorial I dedicated to the topic.
