It's absolutely great! It's also helped me clean up my bookmarks. I pretty much started with a clean slate and every time I go to a frequently accessed page, I just add it to my Google Bookmarks. Since I'm already used to using labels in Gmail, using labels to group my bookmarks was an easy transition from keeping them organized in folders....and a whole lot easier to edit! Did I say thanks for the tip, Kim? THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

What about Mac and Linux users? I'm sure they'd like to be able to access their faves from any browser.

Windows has always done this correctly by having a Favorites folder within the operating system folders and files. It would seem to me that this would be a much more common sense approach to browsing as the Internet and therefore bookmarking are now an integral part of nearly everyone's computer usage. This may require a level of cooperation that has never been seen before between Microsoft and it's would be competitors, but it is long overdue to have a separation of operating system and browsing software.
