Google chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera, Internet explorer- These are some (if not all) of the browsers that we use nowadays. The problem with using multiple browsers is that you have to manually export the bookmarks of one browser in to the another, which becomes impossible after some time.

One solution to automatically sync bookmarks between multiple browsers in using an online bookmarking service like Google Bookmarks, Delicious etc. The advantage of using online bookmarking services is that you can access all your bookmarks from any browser from any computer in the world because all your bookmarks are stored inside your account. The disadvantage: Not a one click option – can be tiring when you have to install a toolbar all through.

Synchronize bookmarks across Multiple Browsers – Some options

Using an online bookmarking service : Good option but the only problem: It’s the speed that turns you off. Say you store your bookmarks in Google bookmarks. You have to sign in to your Google account every now and then and it becomes more problematic if you use multiple Google accounts. It isn’t a one click solution to bookmark pages and use them on the fly.

Manual Export-Import: Of course you can manually backup bookmarks of your browsers as an Html file and import it in the other browsers. But you can’t wake up every morning and sit down to sync the browser bookmarks between all your browsers.

Delicious: Delicious can export your browser bookmarks and you can later import them into another browser but still it isn’t a simple option. You have to install Google toolbar in all the browsers and perform the synching process.

Xmarks: Formerly known as Foxmarks, Xmarks can sync browser bookmarks between Firefox and Internet Explorer only. You cannot export bookmarks using Xmarks into Google chrome, opera and Safari. Thus the job synching process remains incomplete.

Browser Back Up Software’s: The last option to back up bookmarks is using browser back up software for Firefox, Google chrome, Internet Explorer. But again this is not an easy solution and requires much effort.
