[edit] What is it?

This article currently has no explanation of what a "browser synchronizer" is or does, and has no links to any explanations. 69.87.203.171 02:25, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] preview

this week/weekend I will totally rewrite the comparison. At the end it should be looking like this --> Comparison of feed aggregators <-- (created from me) a preview is given on User:Mabdul/sandbox3 mabdul 0=* 11:40, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Third-party client API

Information about any documentation available regarding third-party clients interacting with the server or service should be added somehow, not sure how though. For example, there's OAuth in combination with 'the Weave API' available for Mozilla's Weave. --Execvator (talk) 23:27, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Dead Link

The osync.com websire is no longer active. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.141.28.77 (talk) 12:37, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Add SiteBar?

You could also add SiteBar. It has its own Web-GUI and is compatible to many browsers. Development has started again on Teamforge. The latest version is compatible with SyncPlaces (XBEL interface). You can use the official server or download it.

I'm in no way affiliated with it (except that I use it).

[edit] Can this include dictionaries?

I find it particularly frustrating that I have to "add word" to the 5+ browsers I use. I'm wondering if this is value added to this page or if something else would be better able to handle it since it's basically just a file (like dropbox or something). I can do the research, I just want to know if this would be outside the scope of this page.

[edit] Add Transmute

Transmute seemed to be able to sync locally, with no server require. Good for those privacy-oriented, or working in restrictive corporate environments. The free version does not sync, you need the for-cost version. Works with Chrome, Opera and the other usual suspects. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.204.147.188 (talk) 06:53, 16 August 2010 (UTC)


[edit] Add history to syncable items for Xmarks

Xmarks has recently got an update and you can now sync browsing history for Firefox only. I'm not sure if I should change it from 'no' to 'yes' because Xmarks can't sync browsing history for other browsers yet.

[edit] Removed comment from article

I removed this comment from the article. "Please indicate whether these run under Windows 7. Many don't." http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Comparison_of_browser_synchronizers&diff=prev&oldid=391252966

[edit] Shouldn't we include Google's Chrome Sync?

It synchronizes your bookmarks, passwords, preferences, themes, extensions, autofill, apps, and can encrypt all synced data. This has been available for a while. Is there a reason this hasn't been included yet? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.39.188.217 (talk) 19:45, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
