with the emergence of competent sync features built in to Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome, it’s hard to see users paying for a service that they can now get for free

After taking so many knocks, it's easy to be disheartened. But why not at least give this a go? It doesn't involve a large engineering investment - just charge for what you already offer! When the alternative is shutting down, where existing users need to move on anyway, you might as well. Those users might appreciate the value of what they have now that it is about to disappear...

The beauty of Xmarks is that I can sync across browsers. I use Chrome, Firefox (on Windows, Mac, Linux), and IE and the ability to have all my bookmarks synched wherever I am is an absolute godsend.
