- mixmax 15y agoI kinda like firefox, but this might make me change to chrome though. And welcome to hacker news :-)
- starwed 15y agoFirefox 4 also has built-in sync (of bookmarks, history, and some configuration stuff if you like), so not the best reason to switch :P Go to Preferences->Sync to set it up. (It requires both a password and a sync key because they store all your data encrypted. The sync key is used to decrypt it client-side.)
- seldo 15y agoChrome's bookmark sync is not foolproof yet -- I've never lost a bookmark, but I get dupes all the time (usually after renaming a bookmark: the old name comes back as a duplicate).
- pers3us 15y agoVery true, and don't bother to use xmarks with google chrome sync. It will keep on duplicating every time. Making multiple copy of the bookmarks.

- RyanKearney 15y agoYeah but what can I say, I'm a Google fanboy.
- pstack 15y agoI can use pinboard (and similar) on any browser and any platform, including a simple API to do custom stuff, if I want. Much more portable.
- naner 15y agoSeveral months ago I lost bookmarks with Chrome sync. I think I did something weird, though, like go from developer-channel Chromium to stable Chrome.
