great video, i'm going back through your other videos now. i have to say, i LOVE the way you have your camera set up so you're off to the right and almost typing INTO the screen. it's perfect, i've never seen this before in tutorial videos and it's amazing. chef's kiss
Thanks so much. If you could see behind the scenes what I have to do to make it happen due to my underpowered editing computer I'm sure you'd laugh. It takes almost a day to render a 2 hour video and editing is hilarious as I have to make everything quarter resolution with chroma keying turned off just to be able to scrub through the video. I am happy you appreciate the effort! Cheers!
This is a great video and very helpful. Thank you. However, it would have been nice if you showed the bookmarks menu functionality, as I am one of those people that have hundreds of bookmarks in dozens of folders. It wouldn't suit me to add them as tags. I'd never remember what to search in the search box.
@@StaempunkTV No worries. FYI: I have subsequently installed this, and found that it simply populates the bookmarks toolbar without an issue. I also tested adding a bookmark and it added to the other computer just fine as well. It's a great tool. Anyways, thanks for the video. It was very well made and helpful.
@FederationOfLight Awesome, thanks for the feedback. I should mention though that xBrowserSync hasn't been updated since 2020 so that is worth consideration. These days I use Raindrop.io for cross browser bookmark management. I'll be doing a video on that sometime soon. Cheers!
@darkn8dj xBrowserSync is open-source, anonymous, encrypted, and decentralized. Encryption and decryption is done in the browser via the cryptography API, and your password and encryption key never leave your browser. Compared to using most inbuilt browser syncing tools, it is a more private option. It is good that you have concerns about whether your data is safe from being onsold or stored from data miners so thanks for your question.
The video itself is made in a good quality, you go there step by step and show how to turn on the feature needed. But, on the one hand side, you show the password you use for the account, which should be blurred together with the QR code on exporting the login information. This two things are "your problem" once somebody connects to your account. On the other side, you are not mentioning the on screen notification out of the application. Fine, if you know what the messages are saying but as a "teacher" it is always good to mention, of what a user needs to take care, like the fact to turn off your browser based bookmark sync to not get in trouble. Last but not least, going through warning messages helps that people out there understand, that you should never ever skip warnings (I'm not necessarily talk about introduction messages). The awareness to always read through error messages, warnings or infos is crucial to understand, what a app, tool or your system is trying to say to you. I liked, that the video was calm, there was no fancy music to drag the attention away or something. Keep on with that style and you will find your own user base.
@user-ek2om5iw4z Thank you for the suggestions. I'm learning as I go so I appreciate you taking the time to comment with your tips. Also, I created the account purely as a test account that I don't use because I actually use a different account for my bookmarks.
@ohjaysimpson397 Perhaps use an easier to remember password that is still long like a line from one of your favorite songs or a line from a book. Put hyphens between the words.
@STEAMPUNK do you have any concerns around G-Chrome's telemetry? I really like chrome-based browsers but can't bring myself to use them outside of my home network
I actually use Chromium more than Chrome due to telemetry (and have recently started using un-googled Chromium which is fast) and I turn off as much of Firefox's telemetry as possible. Brave is probably my Browser of choice and I use a VPN mainly when I'm outside my network. I used to like Vivaldi but I've found it a bit slow recently.
@@StaempunkTV I've found Ungoogled a bit unwieldy to get extensions working - specifically an ad blocker - but that's where I would land if I could....I too use Brave when I'm not using Firefox. Perhaps you could do an Ungoogled Chromium segment for MX Linux? Thanks for the content btw, it's been a real help since I switched from WIndows, cheer!
It appears that xbrowsersync is no longer a maintained project, probably best to avoid at this point. Last Android update was over 3 years ago, last Firefox update over 3 years ago, last chrome update over 3 years ago.
@WAGNERMJW There is the potential that xBrowserSync may delete your bookmarks and replace them with the saved ones from your other browser/computer. I thought I'd warn viewers so they don't lose their bookmarks.
It does. They way he demonstrated it was really pretty poor. The way most people us it is to show your browser bookmark bar and it just auto syncs back and forth.

Bitwarden ad was subtle, respect that, nice informative video though.
Thanks!
thank you so much for a fully explained video; the way you teach is easy to understand :-)
I appreciate your comment! Thanks for watching.

Excellent thanks!
@brett_dev Cool thanks for sayin'! These days I use raindrop.io for my Bookmarks management as xBrowserSync is no longer being actively developed.
Straight forward quality content! Thank you very much! 👍
Cheers!
I was actually wondering if something like this exists, thanks for sharing 👍
No problem 👍
really great channel! I am trying out linkwarden to do sync stuff but i wonder if there is a way to use obsidian as my bookmarks manager
@averagetechnologyenojyer I haven't tried using Obsidian as a bookmark manager yet, but I'd love to know how it works out for you.
Verry well explained. Thank you so much. ♥
You're very welcome!
This is great! But how to we know the servers hosting this service cannot tweak it to store the data? Am I missing something?

Awesome extension. Thanks for the vid
Very useful video! Thank you!
Sad that they don't have ios version of this app. I don't know how correctly sync it with my iphone..
@rickbacker1 You're welcome! I wish there was an ios version too.
That's awesome. Thanks.
Glad you liked it!
i keep forgeting the password, whats the tip to fix this?
@ohjaysimpson397 Perhaps use an easier to remember password that is still long like a line from one of your favorite songs or a line from a book. Put hyphens between the words.

@Zeric1 Thanks for the heads up! I'm currently looking into using Floccus as a replacement.
"make sure there are not bookmarks here"" . WTH! Why? Why might that be important? What if there are?
@WAGNERMJW There is the potential that xBrowserSync may delete your bookmarks and replace them with the saved ones from your other browser/computer. I thought I'd warn viewers so they don't lose their bookmarks.
still scared? then use the bookmark backup function ...
that was not easy at all! It should just auto sync with your browser.
It does. They way he demonstrated it was really pretty poor. The way most people us it is to show your browser bookmark bar and it just auto syncs back and forth.
