Best Free Bookmark Syncronizer (Stub only)

Introduction

Most browsers have a built-in bookmark manager allowing users to bookmark a webpage location and organize bookmarks into folders so that they are easier to find. Usually they also allow users to export bookmarks to an html file so that it can be imported into another browser. These are the basic bookmark functions provided by the browsers, lacking the useful features of a bookmark synchronizer.

A good and reliable bookmark synchronizer allows users to keep bookmarks identical across the browsers and computers for ease of surfing the internet from everywhere.

Moreover, it helps organise bookmarks by identifying or removing the duplicates and merging two different lists of bookmarks easily into one complete and well-organized list.

No.1 = Transmute, it works for all major browsers - http://www.gettransmute.com/

The free version of Transmute does not have the synchronization feature. With free version, you can only perform backups, and conversion.

foxmarks is an option for syncing bookmarks between firefox. but what if you want to sync bookmarks between firefox and internet explorer....??

Foxmarks is now XMarks, and you can download XMarks for IE. That combined with the FF Xmarks extension allows automatic synching between FF and IE.

Foxmarks is indispensible... the most practical internet utility I've found so far. It gains more importance if you use more than one computer. Moreover, you have web access to your bookmarks even from public/shared computers. You can share bookmarks in the form of HTML pages, RSS feeds, etc. It's just brilliant!

I echo peter's opinion... syncing passwords is as easy and convenient as bookmarks, no problems yet.

Now there's Foxmarks for IE as well, for those unfortune moments when we are forced to use IE.

I use foxmarks and really like it. They have started doing a password synchronizer that I'm skeptical about, but so far the bookmark manager has worked very well.

I've found no problems with Foxmarks Passwords .... but I do also keep them backed-up in a text file.

I don't like uploading my links to external sites as my first experience I found them adding bookmarks that I hadn't created. I use a firefox addon called PlaceSync that exports my bookmarks in xml format to any website of my choosing. The addon will allow automatic uploading and downloading at beginning and end of firefox session or on demand.

foxmarks the addon for firefox is worth a look.
