The Chrome Web Store rounds user counts down to the leading digit, so the user line moves in steps. The ratings count is exact and is the better signal of real adoption.

About HelixSync

elixSync keeps your bookmarks, history, and (optionally) open tabs/windows/tab groups in sync across your own devices — through a server you run yourself. No Google, Microsoft, or third-party sync service ever sees your data. End-to-end encrypted by default: your self-hosted server only ever stores ciphertext it cannot read. Manage devices, review sessions, and revoke access from your own web dashboard. Requires a running HelixSync server — see github.com/GhaziAlibi/helixsync for self-hosting instructions. Passwords are explicitly out of scope; pair with a dedicated password manager for those.
