Foxmarks: An alternative for Google browser sync for Firefox

Google has stopped working on Browser Sync for Firefox. That means you can’t have Google Sync to work on the latest version of Firfox, i.e, Firefox 3. For those who don’t know about Google Sync, it syncs your browsing history, bookmarks…on different installations of Firefox! If you have Firefox on two or more computers, you can sync all your browsing data by installing Google Browser Sync addon for Firefox. But, now Google has discontinued development on Browser Sync for Firefox. I think this is one of the feature which browser should have inbuilt like in opera 9.5 (latest version) has it!

Foxmarks is a Firefox plugin, a good alternative for Google Browser Sync. Similar to Google Browser Sync, Foxmarks also saves all your browser changes in it’s server. You will have to install Foxmarks plugin for Firefox, which is also available for Firefox 3! If you are using this first time, you will be guided through a wizard to create a new account. Once done, it starts syncing bookmarks in the back end. Now install this addon in all other computers which you are running Firfox & want to sync bookmarks, give your login & password which was created first time. Now changes in bookmarks you make on any computer gets reflected everywhere! Install Foxmarks from www.foxmarks.com

That’s what came out of my mind when I used it for first time. It’s really a great experience while browsing media in Piclens. Yes, that’s Piclens which did the magic!

Piclens is a browser plugin which enables you to browse media like pictures, videos on a 3D wall, giving greate browsing experience. Piclens works great for popular sites like Youtube & Flickr. After installing Piclens, a one click launch button will be added to your browser. Upon clicking that button, Piclens launches a full screen 3D wall to browse the media on site. Click, hold, drag using mouse to navigate on the wall, click on a particular picture to zoom, or on a video to play!
