[gentoo-user] [OT] Online bookmark keeper with good merge routine

[gentoo-user] [OT] Online bookmark keeper with good merge routine

[reader]

Sorry to pop up something so far off topic but hard to get answers that
aren't pretty far from what you are after on other forums at times.

I've been using sitebar as my online bookmark keeper for quite a while
but seem to have trouble merging in new bookmarks from multiple
machines ... what is supposed to be a merge turns into a replace
operation or so it seems .. but not always.

So, I'm looking for a similar setup but more reliable.

What about Google Browser Sync?

If you're the paranoid type, and have your own server with https and
webdav, this extension will do the job:

Thanks, yeah that looks interesing.  The intro for anyone who hits
this thread

  Google Browser Sync for Firefox is an extension that continuously
  synchronizes your browser settings – including bookmarks, history,
  persistent cookies, and saved passwords – across your computers. It
  also allows you to restore open tabs and windows across different
  machines and browser sessions. For more info, please visit our FAQ.

Where it says FAQ above is actually a link to here:
http://www.google.com/tools/firefox/browsersync/faq.html

Do you use this now.  If so has it seemed pretty handy to you?

What about across browsers other than firefox?  Like Konqueror or
opera.

Anyone with experiece using some online bookmark manager that stores
and merges bookmarks regardless of what browser is in use?

I've got to report that this appears to be nearly worthless and does
nothing like what it claims.

After installing it on 5 browsers, every time I open a different one I
still have a different set of bookmarks.  I synced them all several
times now... still after using one... and making changes, when I open
a different one it is not setup like the last one.  Even manually
syncing it does not result in the same bookmarks.

So I guess I'd have to say googles'  claims are mostly baloney

I've been using Foxmarks for a while now and have no complaints. It 
works fine with Flock, too. :)

Be lucky,

Neil

Those things should be done by sythetic filesystems. Actually,
I'm currently working on this.
