Synchronize Favorites and Opera, Firefox Bookmarks?

[Larry Sabo]

Anyone know of a freeware program to do this on a regular basis? I
like Opera for its speed but usually use Maxthon and sometimes
FireFox. The Favorites and Bookmarks of the different programs quickly
get out of synch and I'd love to find a program to solves that problem
easily. Something I could run each week/month.

Any suggestions? A Google search yielded nothing useful.

Not a program, but a site:

Upload the favorites/bookmarks from one browser, then download it back
to the other.

BookmarkBridge 0.72
http://bookmarkbridge.sourceforge.net/news.html

You might have a look at BookmarkBridge. Last revision is 0.72 in 2004, but
it does support "Firebird" and Opera.

"In addition to several minor bug fixes, support for the Konqueror and
Mozilla Firebird browsers was added with this release. BookmarkBridge now
supports merging bookmarks between Internet Explorer, Opera, Mozilla
Navigator, Mozilla Firebird, and Konqueror. BookmarkBridge will now preserve
the order of bookmarks within each browser before and after a merge. In
addition, separators in Mozilla are now preserved."

Why bother trying to keep them synchronized ! A decent bookmark manager
will launch a website in whatever browser you specify.

I currently have 1,736 sites bookmarked in my bookmark manager. And I can
go to any of them in whatever browser I choose, at the click of the
mouse.

I can nominate a default browser for each website, can nominate which
browser opens which website, and can right click and choose an
alternative browser for a change.

Even supports encrypted login names and passwords.

Now I just need to find a freeware that will do this for me ..... but I
think this $29.95 was well spent !

Sometimes FREEWARE just doesn't cut the mustard.

Sometimes FREEWARE just doesn't cut the mustard.

"Each of these programs is made available on a try-before-you-buy basis
(traditionally known as 'shareware'), which means that you may try it out
for free for up to 30 days to decide whether it's the right product for you.
After 30 days you must either buy a license or uninstall the program."

It's $29.95 to register.

NOT FREEWARE. OFF-TOPIC in this newsgroup.

Pisses me off when someone posts a link to a program in this newsgroup, and
then you go there and find that it's $30 shareware. You just wasted my
time.

Read the newsgroup FAQ, Luke!

http://clients.net2000.com.au/~johnf/faq.html#(16)

(16) IF A CERTAIN APPLICATION IS REQUESTED AND NO FREEWARE EXISTS BUT AN
ADWARE, DEMO WARE OR COMMERCIAL VERSION DOES, SHOULD WE MENTION IT ?

No.

(17) WHY ?

Mainly because it isn't needed.

(A) Almost every program has a freeware counterpart.

(B) If *you* don't know a freeware solution it doesn't follow that there
isn't one.

(C) People who go to a freeware newsgroup expect to find out about freeware.
There are newsgroups for the discussion of adware, spyware, shareware etc.
for people who have these interests.

(D) In the unlikely event that freeware isn't available then the lack of
response to the poster's query should suggest to him/her that that is the
case. This means that he/she should be looking elsewhere for his/her program
and/or ask again a few months later (in case something new is written in the
mean time).

(E) If you think that a poster should know about a non freeware option then
you can email him/her your suggestion. This saves readers of the group
bandwith and the time to read about non freeware options.
