Camino: it’s not the Live Bookmarks…

2 Replies

I like Camino, but it is not my default browser on the Mac – Firefox is.

So far, I was under the impression that Firefox like Live Bookmarks – or more so the lack of them in Camino – was the show stopper for me. But recently, I have stopped, although not completely, using Live Bookmarks in Firefox.

I was wondering, what changed? Turns out, I was mostly using Live Bookmarks like a feed reader. Once I started using Google Reader, I no longer felt the need to use Live Bookmarks the way I was using them.

Secondly, I had feed that contained all the websites I visit frequently. I Live Bookmark’d that feed to get access to that list from multiple machines. I’ve started using Google Bookmarks – via the Google Toolbar – to maintain a globally accessible repository of my bookmarks.

So it was not exactly Live Bookmarks that I was missing in Camino. What I was missing was the ability to gain access to my bookmarks that I might have updated at work, or on a different machine etc. Now I am going to find out if there is a way to use Google Bookmarks in Camino – other than over the web of course.

    Hello. Did you ever figure out a way to use google bookmarks in Camino (and I don't just mean to import them)?

      Hi Philip, I am afraid, I could never find an elegant way to use Google bookmarks (or Delicious for that matter) in Camino. Closest I came was importing them, like you mentioned.

      I wonder if any effort is being made to make Weave work with Camino. That would be neat!
