BrowserSync goes open source
In a move that will keep the great Google BrowserSync application for Firefox alive, it has been announced that the further development of that great extension as been handed over to the public domain. From now on, development will take place within the Google Code-plex. A pity that this wasn’t done many months ago when the decision to stop development was taken at Google.The link to the open source BrowserSync can be found here.
I’ve pretty much switched all my systems over to Foxmarks, which I consider extremely reliable and unintrusive. With Foxmarks, multiple browser bookmarks can be synchronized and the synchronized bookmarks may be accessed online.
There is additional development planned to provide synchronization of various other browser settings. Since I’ve had to switch over to an alternative, it’s unlikely that I’ll use BrowserSync again. But at least, it’s good to know that the extension will still live on…
