For Browsers

If you are serious about your computer's security, and like good performance, then you have long ago ditched IE(1), and use Firefox. Gorse Fox has been wandering through Google Labs, as is his want, and found a series of Firefox extensions. The extension that he really likes is Google Browser Sync which allows your browser setting on one compute to be kept in sync with those on another.

If, like the Gorse Fox, you switch back and forth between several computers, this is a great feature as it maintains (in an encrypted form) all of your bookmarks, cookies and other settings across all of your computers.

Great tool. Have been using it during the weekend and found that the standardisation of bookmarks alone makes it worth using.

Update: (1) Gorse Fox has just checked the statistics of visitors to this blog. 59% are still using IE. Shame on you. Go to the Firefox page and download immediately... you don't know who may be hacking you.
