Google Develops Browser Sync Tool for Firefox - PCWorld

Posted on Jun 08, 2006

I read an announcement from PCWorld that Google just released a browser sync extension for Firefox. The extension allows you to share favorites across mulitiple computers, as well as restore open tabs and windows. They do, however, warn that the synchronization process may cause a slight delay when initally opening Firefox. I am testing it out anyway, because I haev always found sharing favorites across computers to be a royal PITA (and is the primary reason I keep most of my favorites at del.icio.us recently). I guess I will find out how slow it is when I get home later :)

Brian Rinaldi It works pretty well. It can be a little slow at times, but overall I am pretty happy with it. It did seem to create duplicates of my live bookmarks.

Abhijeet Hey Brian, I just commented before checking the Google Browser Synch add-in, but while I came here to let you know the updated I have about it, I could not see the earlier comment. Could you check it out. And nice blog bro! Really.

Joseph I was looking for something and landed up here but unfortunately, I have already upgraded to Firefox 3 version and Browser Sync tool is no more supported by Google now.

I would have loved to have it working but it's not working now! Google has suggested few other tools but not something upto the mark like Browser Sync tool :(.
