Google Browser Sync for Firefox

One browser, many workstations. This is one step further to the google`s dream to create an online OS. Google Browser Sync is a Firefox extension which will help you a lot if you are working on a few computers. Probably some users would like to save their home browser away from the working atmosphere and the way the browser looks in their offices.

Google Browser Sync settingsIn fact it`s not only a matter of a style. This extension can save cookies, passwords, bookmarks, history, tab and windows. All this content could be encrypted, too. To use the extension you should have a gmail account as it`s google official service and uses your account to save the data.

This service is useful when you reinstall your OS or when you use your home and office browser for identical services. When I used to read RSS feeds from a Firefox extension the worst thing was that as I added new feed I should e-mail the link to myself so I could subscribe to it from the other computer, too. This is an example what a headache could be if you want to synchronize your home and office browser. Afterwards when I started using the Google Reader for RSS feeds, I was reborn but that`s another topic.

So if you already use gmail account and you are not afraid for your privacy, I advise you to try this Firefox extension from Google. But be careful. You should use this extension only on not shared computers.
