Chrome on my laptop drains the battery dry so I’ve installed the current Firefox and went through some quick installations and all is right in the world. I installed the following:
- Firefox – Duh.
- 1Password4 extension
- Greasemonkey
It struck me that my favorite tools have cross platform equivalents.
- Chrome
- 1Password4 extension
- Tampermonkey
But what I am lacking is a tool to easily sync my browser bookmarks. Yes, I can easily export and import them but I’m lazy and would prefer a tool that works across all browsers.
I may need to give Xmarks another look. I forgot why but there was something about it years ago that turned me off.
I prefer using apps that work the same between platforms. I use Postbox for that reason (it’s also a cool mail app) even though it doesn’t have any data sync exactly. I’m using the same mailbox in both so the experience is the same even when I accidentally send a private email to a mail distribution list. I make the same mistakes on both versions.
The same goes with the 1Password application and I was thrilled when the Windows version was updated. The 1Password app is a great example of cross platform utility. The experience between Windows and Mac just works and it works consistently.
I’ll need to do some digging for a bookmark solution that I like.
