Sync needs forced overwrite send and receive or else everything will amount to a merge. When can we expect these features?

I used Sync in chrome based browsers and had to quit because it handled syncing the same way as this. It did all the thinking meaning it merges. What eventually will happen is every browser that connects to it will have its settings and bookmarks scrambled.

Please add forced Send and Receive with Overwrite capability as well as total manual operation.
