I am a huge fan of browser plugins/add-ons that synchronize bookmarks due to the fact I use multiple computers. My bookmark synchronizer of choice is Foxmarks, a Firefox plugin.

But let’s say for the moment you don’t use Firefox and use IE instead. What then?

You have an alternative: Chipmark.

Chipmark works in both Firefox and Internet Explorer and basically does the same job Foxmarks does. Your bookmarks get synched and that’s all that matters. In addition, Chipmark also has the ability to share out specific bookmarks if you choose to use that feature.

The single largest advantage of Chipmark over Foxmarks is that it runs in both browsers easily.

If you’re the type that uses IE or hops between IE and FF and you need bookmark synchronization, Chipmark is definitely for you.

Foxmarks is a freely available add-on for the Mozilla Firefox web browser. Normally what you would do to send/retrieve your bookmarks is use the Foxmarks servers to store this information, however if you host your own web site (or just use free FTP space provided by your ISP) you can store your own bookmarks privately via FTP.
