Earlier I had dropped Xmarks and installed Mozilla Weave. After a few weeks I’m back to Xmarks. Syncing the browser history is a very useful feature, but some really weird things have been going on with my Weave sync data lately.
My problems began when I installed Weave on my Ubuntu 9.10 work station. I could [...]

I’m giving Mozilla Weave a try. I’ve been a big fan of the extension formally known as Foxmarks (Xmarks) so when Mozilla released Weave, I was not sure if there was anything for me to look at.
I use a work PC, my HP, and a laptop. Xmarks has been good at keeping my bookmarks and [...]

Get your latest copy of Firefox 3.0 here. Thursday openSUSE 11 comes out. It’s like an open source cosmic alignment of the planets.

Over at downloadsquad.com they talked about the HydraBrowser and how it may go too far with features.
It looks like Internet Explorer with enough add ons to make it “special”. It was special alright; after I ran it it wanted a user ID and password. I canceled that (I just wanted to see the [...]
