I suddenly remembered my notebook having Foxmarks installed in Firefox. Remember I posted an article on how to backup and restore bookmarks? Here’s the thing, as always, there’s an automated setup for it, which I ignored though I initially set it up already.

Use Foxmarks.

Foxmarks is a bookmark synchronizer wherein you can access a single bookmark server via internet using multiple computers. All you have to do is install this plugin to your Firefox, create an account and voila! You can now backup and sync your favorite websites.

It’s just like Delicious plugin but remastered. Because using Foxmarks, you can download your bookmarks to several computers and use them as if you’re using a single browser. Isn’t that cool? No wonder i’m loving FF.

Having my bookmarks accessible anywhere I go is every important to me. I have a truck load of links to almost everything technology related (links to unix and linux are crowding my bookmarks). Therefore, I keep my delicious account updated from time to time just in case.

But I find it heart breaking to log in to my delicious account when I’m very much used to my Firefox Bookmarks Environment. To my OCness, I chose to export my FF bookmarks into a file and imported them into my FF in my notebook. (by the way, I mentioned that I’d use Chrome as my default browser, but it’s not that dependable yet, I love FF the most).

Anyhoo, you can do this going to Bookmarks menu, Click on Organize Bookmarks, you’ll see something like this:

I’ve installed Google Chrome in all computers that I’m using: Office desktop, home desktop and my notebook. It’s typical for a computer inclined fellow to use an application as intense as possible. In my case, I chose to have Chrome as my only browser installed in my home desktop.

Here’s what I found out.

Yes, Chrome differentiates each tab. One tab is equivalent to one process making it independent with the rest of them.

Yes, Chrome is wicked fast. Response time is quick.

Yes, Chrome is lightweight in terms of disk space and memory & cpu usage.

Yes, Chrome is a good catch though it failed to reach my expectation in one of our web application, still, it’s as good as firefox.

Right now, it is at par with Firefox. And simplicity is Google’s theme ever since. I just want a few plugins that I find necessary: Firebug, Live IP Address, Customize Google and Delicious. Those come in handy with FF.

And so Google released its own browser, which I’m about to use on my notebook later when I get home.

Let’s see what Google is up to.

Although I’ve read that most of Chrome’s features are just the same with that of Firefox, I need to see if it will require the same memory allocation. If it’s lesser than what Firefox already implemented, that’s some kind of an achievement and most likely be a head to head battle between those two. If not, then Google has to do something about it.
