Xmarks syncing comes to an end

eskaton · Unread post by **eskaton** » 2018-03-30, 19:03

Below is the email I recv'd from LastPass this morning:

Xmarks update
On May 1, 2018, we will be shutting down Xmarks. Your account will remain active until then, including the syncing of your bookmarks. After that date, your bookmarks should remain in any previously accessed browser, but they will no longer sync and your account will be deactivated.

At LastPass, we’ve staked our claim in password management, and providing our community with a high level of password security. After careful consideration and evaluation, we have decided to discontinue the Xmarks service so that we can continue to focus on offering the best possible password vaulting to our community.

On behalf of the entire LastPass and Xmarks team, we wanted to thank you for your support over the years.

I'm just gonna pick the very first one, EverSync, and see how it goes. I can post back regarding my experience with it later -- if I don't forget. Just installed version 13.1.1.

On May 1, 2018, LastPass will shutting down Xmarks.
This was my favorite service to have all my bookmarks synchronized between browsers, In addition to having constant backups.

I'm making this topic to ask and find for some service like this, with extension for Chrome's, Firefoxes (quamtun based) and Firefoxes as Palemoon (with classic extensions)

Some interest links:

Some options to check:
https://booky.io/
https://saved.io/

https://www.everhelper.me/synchronizer.php

https://www.xbrowsersync.org/ (?) without extension for firefox yet.

None of the synch apps available are compatible with Palemoon. Whenever I try to download an addon, it leads to the Firefox addons page and it says that the minimum requirement is Firefox 49 and since I'm using Palemoon, it is detected as if I were using Firefox 27.8.3. Can somebody help me find an alternative to Xmarks that can be used with Palemoon?

Dude you can use older versions. See my post above, for instance.

Yeah I saw that you use version 13.1.1 of Eversync. I'll try it.

Well, you can use old versions until they update the framework or database structure, and your outdated version is no longer supported. Maybe that day will never come, but it's an uncertainty to be aware of I think.
If you're only using Pale Moon, there's always Pale Moon Sync.

I also use Firefox and Slimjet.

Unfortunately PM isn't really reliable enough for it to be the only browser to use.

Indeed there's a lot of glitches with PM...

I also used xmarks and since its end I'm having a hell of a time to sync my bookmarks.

Since those online services are tend to be unreliable, does anyone know of a simple tool to automatically sync bookmarks from/to palemoon/firefox/etc. (like xmarks did) but locally?
I own a NAS device and that could be a life saviour if it was possible to use it as a main storage for my bookmarks.

thanks

Eversync seems to be working alright so far. Seems less polished/sophisticated than Xmarks was but still doing the job. I haven't tested it very much yet, finally set up my account just yesterday.

The version you mentioned does seem to work. Thank you.

I guess that it has to do until I find a local solution.
