While this seems like a cool idea, I definitely don't want my (bookmarks - I don' t see the point, but it doesn't concern me) saved passwords, browsing history and open browser tabs synced to my phone.
1) If I lose my phone that is a lot of personal data/security info that is available on my phone. Saved passwords would be useful, but I don't save any passwords on my phone now, and this isn't going to change that.
2) Last thing I want, if I'm returning through US border is all of this data on my phone, given http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/01/16/laptop_border_search/ http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/01/16/laptop_border_search... (There are better articles, but that is the first Google result)
- wtallis 17y agoThat blog post doesn't make it clear that Weave is also good for syncing between computers. I've been using it for months to sync between my desktop and my two laptops, where each laptop is running two operating systems. For me, the coolest thing about it is that the history syncing means that the suggestions as I'm typing in a URL are the same on all the machines, so that when I type 's', slashdot and stackoverflow are the first two. Bookmark syncing is also nice because NoScript can store it's rules in a bookmark, so I will only have to whitelist any site once.
