Works with Firefox, Chrome, IE and Safari (for Macs only). For mobile platforms like iPhone, Android and Symbian it is a payable premium service I am afraid. The multiple platform browser synchronization makes it the most handy of all the bookmarking service. It can also synchronize your browsing history, open tabs and passwords too (using lastpass)! You can go online and login to your account to check and edit your bookmarks, and if your current bookmark list has errors or too many duplicates you can also revert back to a previous backup set. Now that is very handy! Heard that it is planning to make a version for Opera browser too. I\u2019m waiting for that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Delicious.com<\/strong> \u2013 this is a social bookmark service, which means it is open to public. Good for sharing with friends and family about the sites that you found. Works only with Firefox and IE. The latest Firefox 4 and 5 update broke it. But I finally found a fix for it using the Compatibility Reporter extension.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Google Toolbar<\/strong> \u2013 Google toolbar has a bookmark service, works only with Firefox and IE. Don\u2019t know why they don\u2019t come up with one for their very own Chrome browser. Although Chrome has its own version of bookmark synchronization but it only works between Chrome browsers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Yahoo Toolbar Bookmark<\/strong> \u2013 This is the least user friendly though they were the first to come up with the online bookmarks. I adopted this when it first became available. Unfortunately the latest \u201cimprovements\u201d has made it very un-user friendly and inconvenient.<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\ngoogle_ad_client = \"pub-5685769204706262\";\ngoogle_ad_width = 336;\ngoogle_ad_height = 280;\ngoogle_ad_format = \"336x280_as\";\ngoogle_ad_type = \"text\";\n\/\/2007-08-06: JanLeow.com Blogs (Content)\ngoogle_ad_channel = \"5832813811\";\ngoogle_color_border = \"FFFFFF\";\ngoogle_color_bg = \"FFFFFF\";\ngoogle_color_link = \"003399\";\ngoogle_color_text = \"000000\";\ngoogle_color_url = \"808080\";\ngoogle_ui_features = \"rc:0\";\n\/\/--><\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\"\n  src=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Other browser bookmark synchronization:<br \/>\n<strong>Opera<\/strong> \u2013 has a build in bookmark and speed dial synchronization.<br \/>\n<strong>Chrome<\/strong> \u2013 also has a build in bookmark synchronization plus it can also synchronize your browser apps, autofill, extensions, passwords, preferences and themes.<br \/>\n<strong>Firefox<\/strong> \u2013 not to be outdone, the latest Firefox 4 and 5 also has a bookmark synchronization as well as your browsing history, passwords and open tabs across all your devices.<br \/>\n<strong>Internet Explorer using Live service<\/strong> \u2013 Microsoft IE browser don\u2019t have the build in synchronization, instead they use their Live service to sync your Favorites.
