Google open sources Browser Sync
SOFTWARE ENGINEERS at Google have released its Browser Sync client to open source under the free-for-all BSD licence. It's apparently complete and stable now, so they're also discontinuing active support for it.
According to the Browser Sync project webpage:
"Browser Sync is a Firefox 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."
That sounds useful for everyone who uses multiple computers. Hopefully this will get picked up by the Mozilla developers and incorporated into Firefox 3.1. µ

Maxthon (shell for IE) has it already, and it will sync other stuff as well. One thing it won't sync is cookies though, at least I don't know of it

mozilla is working on 'weave' a direct competitor, and BETTER product.
aren't you informed at all?
they're definitely NOT going to pick this up
i have been using browser sync for a long time and it is a very usefull utility. With continued used you will eventually have bookmark menu's that never seem to end.
