Google Browser Sync

#

Google has released an extension which potentially (have not tried it yet on multiple computers) lets me keep my bookmarks, saved password, cookies, session, etc. in sync.

It comes very close to realizing my wish for a web-based browser.

First of all, what is missing is “synchronizing” installed extensions, so if I am used to seeing Forecast Fox in the bottom right, I would be seeing it on any computer where I have Google Browser sync extension.

And secondly, of course, this technique makes it difficult to use public computers safely. What I was implying is we could all go to a particular website or a remote session, and access the same browser with same everything.

And to a minor extent, it only works with Firefox, but I am not complaining since I use the browser anyway.

Oh well, for now, I will take this :-)
