Google Browser Sync

If you have limited your search for add-ons for Firefox to the official Firefox site at https://addons.mozilla.org you are missing out on some cool stuff. I make a point of checking out the Google Labs site every month or so to see what those smart folks at Google are up to. I tend to avoid beta or experimental software unless it is designed to address a real need that I have or unless its just really really cool.

Over the last few months I have added a third and then a fourth computer to my list of often used PCs. I have my main PC at home, my main PC at work, a work owned laptop, and I use one of the laptops we have around the house. I do a lot of work on the web and mail servers at the office at all hours of the day or night and I need to be able to do those things quickly and easily no matter which machine I am using. My biggest problem involved keeping my bookmarks synchronized along at LEAST my home and work PC’s. Keeping the laptops synced was less important but still a hassle.

I tried a few different add-ons that I found through the Mozilla site. They all had problems. I had given up and was using a bash script to just copy my bookmarks.html file up to a website nightly. I would then download it to another machine, blow away all my bookmarks, and then import the latest version. It was not a horrible hardship since with practice, this can be done in under two minutes. The biggest problem I had was remembering which machine I had added the new link to and often I would need a link now and stopping to do a new import would destroy my chain of thought.

Google Labs has come to the rescue. If you have a Google account and more than one PC, I highly recommend the Google Browser Sync to keep your bookmarks, passwords, and cookies synchronized between both machines. Google has put together a fairly extensive FAQ for the Browser Sync component.
