Browsers, Bookmarks, & synching

tomos:
what with imperfect browsers and so on
I end up using (at the moment and depending on requirements etc.)

Opera
Firefox
Avant (I.E.)


I wondering does this exist, (or could it?!!):

A (portable?) programme that you can save your bookmarks to :read:, say with a universal hotkey, or from the context menu.
Then you dont have to be thinking, now where did i save that.

Or maybe something that can import bookmarks from diff browsers, synch them, and export them or save them in format for import back to browser

I know theres online stuff & I've only tried delicious with FF, but if youre working on a different computer & you dont have the plugin installed its a pain I found.
Maybe I'm just being too impatient :) (or not understanding ...)

What do you people out there use?

Carol Haynes:
Bookmark buddy does the job for me though I'm not sure how portable it is. You can also keep separate book mark sets which can be useful.

22 June 2006: Bookmark Buddy Reader Edition v3.5.4 Follow linkreleased. This edition allows you to open, decrypt, search and export bookmark lists. It does not require installation or registration: the program files can be copied to any device or folder and run from there. You can therefore run Bookmark Buddy from a USB memory stick, MP3 player or floppy disk. This edition does not allow you to import bookmark collections nor edit bookmark lists.

It might be worth asking for that in Coding Snacks.  Presumably hotkey-fired AHK script could just pick out the window of whichever browser you're using, capture the address line, and save it in a file, popping up a message box for your description on the way?

There're plenty out there, but, many of the free ones (e.g. Columbine) seem to be too old to include Firefox   :(

tinjaw:
Howdy. I can't keep track of all the browsers on use on all the computers I use any more. I have been using an online bookmark service for almost two years now that I can't say enough good things about.

I have a paid subscription that includes use of https and a weekly email to me with all of my bookmarks attached. One of these days I need to get around to doing a (rave) review for them and putting it up on my site.

I'm just a very satisfied customer. You don't need to, but if you do end up subscribing based on this posting, please mention my email address <[email protected]> to help support my habit.   :-[

Not sure whether this what you are looking for, but I use the Syncmarks Firefox extension to auto-synchronize my bookmarks to a back up hard drive. It can also be configured to sync to an online ftp/http server, but I haven´t tried this feature:
