What do you mean by syncing?
Without using Chrome Sync?

The code search link with which I provided you has the information for how to create that checksum.
If you follow that path, I believe you could successfully modify the Bookmarks file (when Chrome is not running).

I believe the purpose is to make sure it was written to disk correctly. If it were not, the .bak version would be used instead, I guess.
