Wow! What a cool idea (if it works). Google has a new add-on to Firefox that makes it completely location-less. When Firefox starts up it synchronizes your bookmarks, cookies, history, etc. This has the potential to make your browser experience much more seamless. I hate rebuilding machines all the time, and something like this could make a big difference at least within the browser. I am currently using GBookmarks which is a great extension for viewing Google Bookmarks directly from a Firefox menu. Before that extension came out I didn't see much in using the service since who wants to sign into a web page to view your favorites?! Google Browser Sync sounds like a great idea, though they specifically apologize for a delay in startup times. This could reduce adoption, but hopefully they will improve it over time. Great idea, nonetheless.
