Store your bookmarks through a central manager, with StorURL

November 22, 2007 in Browsers | Permalink

Grab140_2 Unless you use Internet Explorer for everything, just which web browser do you set and use as your favourite? It's frustrating. You might prefer to use Opera at home, but then your work-based laptop will stop you from installing third-party software, so you're stuck with Internet Explorer. On your workstation, you might be able to install any browser, but only Firefox or IE will access and work with your internal CMS (we can't use Opera to edit vnunet.com content). Worse, you want to use Mozilla Firefox 3, but the majority of your favourite add-ons aren't yet compatible.

StorURL 2.5 is a bookmark manager that will enable you to store all your bookmarks within one separate interface, rather than within the browser. You can then open your bookmarks within the browser of your choice. StorURL will also import your existing bookmarks, from multiple browsers, to get you started.

"...but then your work-based laptop will stop you from installing third-party software..." So how do you install StorURL 2.5 in the first place?

This would have been great if wasn't for the fact that it was flawed from the start (due to the point above).

Of course, you could use the online version (http://suonline.haztek-software.com), but you can only import from the installed application. It'd be quicker to use something like Protopage.

That's effectively the point we were trying to make - you can't install on your work laptop, but at least you could a) use those IE-based bookmarks on another machine through StorURL and then b) export them for use online, much like the dotmac online storage of Safari bookmarks.
