Is RAD. Bookmarks synced to both Firefox on my MacBook and iPhone.

You have to download the new Firefox 4 here first:

http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/new/

Then go here:

http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/mobile/home/

I have it running on my iPhone 4G, but it's available for Android as well I believe.

http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/mobile/

Anyone else running it?

I like the App Tab, and it's noticeably quicker. I've been mostly using Chrome the last few months, but I think I'm going to use them both for a bit.

So they make money by the default search engine in the browser? That's it?

looks like it

we're talking millions and millions of hits daily though

that sort of associate-style referral business model is pretty prevalent and can bring in some serious dough

the guy who sits behind me used to run a fake/gag IQ test site. he tweaked the SEO and threw a couple rotating ads on it that would bring in a few cents per click and he ended up making almost a grand per month in passive income

whether it's google or yahoo or bing signing the checks, they'll get paid either way

Oddly, I did as well about 2 weeks ago. Not in inticipation of FF4 - I just got tired of how Chrome handles bookmarks.

I wasn't really impressed with Firefox (it's still Beta) for Android but there is an app that syncs your home Firefox with Opera.

I d/l FF4 but when my skin didnt transfer, I freaked out and went back to the old one. I'll check it out tonight when I can get it configured.

I just keep a backup file of my bookmarks in my dropbox folder, then I can access it remotely from any machine on any browser. All I have to do is change my default browser.

I like the app tab stuff but app tab is a terrible name for something not related at all to applications.

What's your definition of "a lot"? You mean like mowing the lawn or finding and posting a youtube video into a forum?

Right-click and "Pin to App Tab". I use it for gmail right now. It just gives you a narrower tab for frequently used tabs.

Why not Google Bookmarks?
