Saw someone on the forum mention Maxthon browser so decided to check it out, it's actually really fast. However I can't seem to get it to sync bookmarks with the desktop and the addon I downloaded for it to bookmarks fails to login to google, does anyone know any other way to get chrome's bookmarks to sync with it?

Maxthon can only sync with its own desktop version browser. Personally I prefer Maxthon rather than chrome on desktop, it has better basic functions like built-in adhunter, screen snap, webkit/IE engines, video downloader etc.
Yeah I installed the desktop version, created an account, signed into both, imported bookmarks on desktop version, but it still won't sync to mobile.

Hello,
After a quick search I wasn't able to find any topics on this subject so apologies if this has been covered already.
Can anyone suggest an app that will enable me to bookmark links on my android and have these sync'd to an online account? I know there are apps that will sync bookmarks with your desktop. I've also tried a few apps that sync with Delicious but none of these allow you to bookmark from within the default android browser. In summary, here's the setup I'd like
- bookmark link from within android browser with ability to tag the link before I save the link.
- view bookmarked links online (with functionality like Delicious)
cheers,
Keith

I use chrome on desktop.
I use chromarks paid version.
You can sync to default android browser.
Google bookmarks accepts delicious now. So you'll be happy.
Thanks mate.
ChromeMarks seems to sync with my local chrome browser ('Bookmark Manager'), not my 'Google Bookmarks'. I've recently discovered that Google Bookmarks doesn't sync with bookmarks that have been saved within Google Chrome (present within 'Bookmark Manager').
So, how have you managed to get ChromeMarks to sync with Google Bookmarks instead of Bookmark Manager?
Just an observation... I've noticed is that after exporting my bookmarks from Chrome, and trying to import them into Google Bookmarks... I discovered that you can't do it directly - only through Delicious. How bizarre!
Yes.. I thought I had a line that said
Chrome bookmarks are not google bookmarks and gb are not cm.
Pick one and stick with it. google or chrome books...just export from delish to chrome.
Export google books to file. Import to chrome. Stop using google books. Start using chrome entirely and no conflicts.
If you use all kinds of browsers... do ONE full export from all and then iONE import of those into chrome. Then stop using any and all bookmark sites and just pick one bookmark method and stick with it and you've got a commitment.
This is just how id do it if I were to PICK chrome bookmarks as my master bookmarks method.
Fyi the chrommarks sync to native browser doesn't seem to work inb gingerbread yet. It doesn't seem.
How would I transfer my IE browser favorites to the GNex browser? I can use Chrome as an intermediary if that helps.

Using Chrome is exactly how you need to do it.
-Import bookmarks from IE into Chrome.
-Sign into Chrome and sync bookmarks.
-Under Accounts and Sync, be sure to have the same account added that you signed in under Chrome and select the option to Sync Bookmarks.
Such quick response! Thanks, that works perfectly
Hm, something's odd with mine then; and I think it's also eating battery because it tries to sync all the time! :-?
I am using the built-in browser or Chrome on my Notr 2. Is there any way to sync my bookmarks of Safari on my desktop? Tks!

Without looking into it, can you sync safari bookmarks to your google account? I did a 5 second google search and this popped up.
Any good?

Thanks for your advice. I downloaded Xmarks and installed it successfully on my iMac. I clicked Synchronize Now and completed it. Firstly where is my bookmarks in Google Mail? What is the next step to sync with the browsers in my Note 2? There is no QSG for ref. Thanks!
I've always been a fan of Maxthon Android Web Browser but it was never my #1 because it wasn't "quite there". Well it looks like is now "there".
The list of all the things this browser does well is too long to go into here. But suffice it to say it is VERY fast, looks gorgeous and does an amazing job of organizing bookmarks and syncing them with the cloud. It also "preloads" links in the background like the stock browser does so when you click a link on an open page the new page opens instantly. Also going back to previous pages is very fast.
One thing this browser does that the stock browser doesn't is to "save your place" in your bookmarks when you go back to them. That way if you click on a bookmark 3 folders deep, it is still in that folder when you return as opposed to the stock browser which returns you to the top layer every time (annoying).
Anyway check it out in the Market (https://play.google.com/store/search?q=maxthon+browser). I prefer the layout and handling of the Maxthon Android Web Browser as opposed to the Maxthon HD For Tablets.
** I am in no way associated with Maxthon Browser or promoting them for my own benefit. I just think it's a great browser.

Am I missing something incredibly obvious or is there no way to import my Google bookmarks into Maxthon? Because it sure seems like there isn't unless I'm forced into using there browser on the desktop as well.
I have about 300 bookmarks...and no way am I recreating them manually.
I'm not sure because I'm not in front of my pc but I think you need to import them on your desktop then sync them from the cloud with your phone. Not hard.
Although I don't believe they will continuously sync in the future as of course Maxthon wants you to use Maxthon.

Yes, it is easy to import your Chrome bookmarks into Maxthon.
Just download the Maxthon Browser to your desktop and sign up for a Maxthon Passport which is like your free cloud account. Then open the browser and click on the menu looking button at the top right and then click on the star. That will open your Favorites Manager. Click on the 3 vertical dots at the top and select import/export bookmarks. Then select "import Chrome" and there you go.
Next you will need to sync your bookmarks with the cloud then sign in on your phone and sync them there.
Boom, Chrome bookmarks on Maxthon. Easy.

Thx much.
One very broken behavior is Maxthon handling of bottom of page text fields and onscreen keyboards...meaning other browsers like stock or Opera Mobile scroll the field above the keyboard area whereas Maxthon doesn't.

Dude, with favorites/tabs that synch amongst your devices, there is going to be uploads. It now has UUMail, which gives you your own server you name anything you want to create shadow mails to use for your real email addy! + not only makes webpages completely offline for viewing + snapshots you can extract pics/videos and modify them for use in other projects. I'm just on here trying to see what would be the best way to get users into this online community forum with the MX5 so people that have knowledge of android, and what apps can/need to do in the os enviroment can give them proper feedback to finish this product up. What their getting in feedback now is a joke!
Hi, on the S3 in the stock browser there is an option to show the synched boormarks from your Chrome desktop browser.
I cannot see it on the G4.
I went to the phone gmail account sync settings and I cannot find the sync bookmarks option but only the sync Chrome option which will sync only the bookmarks for the chrome phone mobile browser...
Any idea??

There may be other ways...but this & other sites say you have to use an app called Chromemarks. The catch...only the paid version will sync your Chrome bookmarks to your default android browser.
More reading...not sure if this would help you: http://notesofgenius.com/how-sync-android-browser-chrome/
Sort of on the same topic...I looked, but could not find anyway to locally sync Samsung's own browsers bookmarks with the bookmarks widget.
The only real bookmark widget (4x1) is for Chrome and the annoying thing is that you have to keep Chrome sync on in settings, for your bookmarks to stay in the widget. I wondered why the bookmarks disappeared, until I realized why. I don't like having sync on at all times, I like to do it manually...so this seems like a complete oversight on Samsung's part. I mean, why would you include your own browser but not make a widget for bookmarks for it? Then also why would the Chrome widget only keep bookmarks if sync for Chrome is enabled.
I LOVED my Sensations bookmark widget (and other widgets). It was kept on a local cache & did not require sync to be on to stay there. Sammy could learn one thing from HTC in regards to great widgets. Seems like with all the other amazing software features on this phone, Samsung forgot to have a team work on widgets...and also some basic apps light a flashlight app for the LED. Of course many things can be downloaded from the play store, but you would think that stuff would be included...Strange.
If any of what I said was incorrect....feel free to correct me and if someone knows how to keep your bookmarks in the 4x1 widget, without Chrome sync enabled...let me know :good:

stock brower is different from them.

He said he wants to sync his chrome boolmarks with the STOCK browser. If he wanted to use chromehe would have. Op I couldn't find anything to sync it to stock so i just made the same bookmarks to my samsung account and those sync fine with the stock browser.
