I don't name names lest someone think I am trying to trumpet a competitor's product. But you can look up "Link Stash." :) Oh, on another Site someone asked me what program I was referring to, that I use.

But what I like best about it is that I am not giving to third parties my bookmarks and favorites. Besides, why should I so willingly give a third party all my information so they can make money on it. People for a time were all concerned about cookies (and still are). Why people would so willingly tell this company what they bookmark and their habits is beyond me. I have about 5800 bookmarks/favorites accumulated since 1995. No way I am giving a marketing company all that information.

I trashed my foxmarks account after they admited to do data mining and making my booksmarks go public. Only way out of that situation is to have an own server that the firefox addon can connect and synchronize with. Most of us changed to Firefox also because of privacy and security considerations. Now X-marks exploits Firefox, and some are jubilating. I just don't get it. Even my mother is more concerned about her privacy when she goes online. No one thinking about privacy issues?
