Just tried the Google Sync Firefox extension and have to say that it’s piece of crap. It was nice to have all my bookmarks synced to my home computer, but this morning when I fired up the work computer I was aghast to realized I had (1) no bookmarks (2) no cookies (3) no saved passwords. Worst of all, it didn’t make any backups of my original state so all may be lost.
This is a catastrophe. Some of those sites I may never get logged into again.
Good idea, shitty product.
[Sorry for the rant. But it’s gonna take me weeks to undo this damage!]
Scary!
Why not use one of the web-based solutions? I’m clearly biased towards Simpy. It’s got some people recommendations that you like, too.
Maybe Google has got all your cookies, passwords, bookmarks stored now on their computers… That’s scary!
