Chrome and i*S6 If yo're a Chrome ser and want yor bookmarks o
n yor de"ice, we recommend the 778 Chrome Sync Pro$ &o'll need t
o install an extension to Chrome, bt yo'll barely notice it's there$ It'll
sync all yor bookmarks throgh a 2le in 9oogle :ocs, and after loggi
ng into the app, yo can "iew all yor bookmarks, yor history, and yo
r open tabs right there$ +he best part is that it lets yo open them p
in any browser yo want!so if yo're sing something like #tomic, o
r fa"orite i*S browser, this'll integrate "ery well with yor work;ow$
Firefox and i*S6 Syncing Firefox bookmarks to i*S is simple6 )st like
Chrome, yo can se Firefox Sync Pro, a 778 app that, with the help o
f a browser extension, will sync e"erything throgh a 9oogle :oc on y
or 9oogle accont$ +hen, yo can )st open the app on yor phone an
d open yor bookmarks, history items, or open tabs in any i*S browse
r yo want!not )st Safari$ *f corse, if yo want a free app, yo can
se Firefox's o<icial Firefox %ome app, which does the same thing 3an
d withot an extra browser extension4$ It only works with Safari, howe
"er, so it isn't withot downsides$
Chrome and #ndroid6 Shockingly, it took #ndroid ntil "ersion =$> to i
nclde a simple bookmark syncing featre$ If yor phone still hasn't g
otten the Ice Cream Sandwich treatment, thogh, yo can se pre"io
sly mentioned Chrome5arks to sync yor bookmarks down$ #gain, it
doesn't sync them with yor defalt browser, bt instead lets yo acce
ss yor bookmarks from the Chrome5arks app$ +his may seem annoyi
ng, bt also o<ers the ad"antage of working with any browser yo wa
nt on #ndroid, so yo aren't forced to se the defalt$
#ndroid6 If yo're tired of manally adding new bookmarks to both yo
r PC and yor phone
Firefox and #ndroid6 Sadly, there doesn't seem to be an e,i"alent to
Chrome5arks for Firefox$ Instead, if yo're a Firefox ser and want y
or bookmarks, open tabs, and history on yor phone, yo'll ha"e to
se the somewhat slow Firefox browser for #ndroid$ It's actally a prett
y good browser, thogh, as long as yor phone 3and yor patience4 ca
n handle the slowness!and for Firefox sers, the syncing is abot as
easy as it gets
+hese aren't the only ways to sync yor bookmarks down, of corse!s
ome ?rd party browsers 3like ?@> 'rowser for i*S4 spport bookmark
syncing ot of the box, bt the abo"e methods shold work with )st a

ly to the browser itself, they do a great )ob of syncing bookmarks, ope
n tabs, and history down to yor de"ice with minimal e<ort$ 9ot yor
