Synchronizing Bookmarks without a Toolbar…
August 20th, 2008 by steve
I want my bookmarks at work to be the same as the ones at home and on my laptop. Generally you can synchronize these things with Yahoo! Toolbar or Google Toolbar. But I hate toolbars. They are redundant. They take up viewing space. They cause redundancies. They populate your screen with useless information. And they tend to be redundant. They waste system resources. Did I mention redundancies?
Yet toolbars can bring value to the table in this: You can use them to sync bookmarks on one computer with another.
Well, today I found a way to sync bookmarks without a toolbar. It’s found at www.foxmarks.com. It keeps the bookmarks on my laptop synced with those at my office.
Try it. Just install the add-on in FireFox. Use the wizard to get an account and upload your bookmarks. Then the next time you install it on a different machine, your bookmarks will be there too.
Synchronized Bookmarks without a toolbar! Love it.

Foxmarks now supports syncing passwords! It’s almost as good as the google brower sync was, now if it would just sync history it would be there!

Wow — cool. I am not yet ready to give such control to my PC. I don’t even have my browser remember my passwords.
I know. Three words: para noi ya. 😛

[…] So I installed the new Norton Internet Security and what’s it do? Clutters my PC with another toolbar. Ugh. I dislike toolbars. […]
