1369172 2014-03-03 03:28:00 Hi all,

I'm after some kind of bookmark manager that allows me to save bookmarks/favourites on my pc and have them automatically sync through to my android, or vice versa. I know Chrome can kinda do it, but I don't use Chrome on my PC... Does something like this exist? I would have thought there would be something but I must be searching for the wrong keywords.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Cheers,
Mike.

Pretty sure Firefox can do it.I've had difficulties with Firefox's sync in the past, and I'm not a fan of the firefox android app, but it may be the only option... am hoping someone knows of another option. I found an app in Google Play that sounds perfect, but it appears to have been abandoned :(

Cheers,

I've used XMarks on the PC before I used Chrome - awesome app. But I can't vouch for the Android app - haven't used it.

Surely the simplest option is to use Chrome? Unless it's not your PC (business one that's locked down?)....

Unless it's not your PC (business one that's locked down?)....More complicated than that... my wife uses Chrome, therefore I have to use something else, so that I can leave my stuff logged in and she can have her accounts on the same sites also always logged in... Unless there's a better way to do that? :D

Wonder if they have a free trial (I don't like paying for software before I've had a chance to try it out...
