What happens when an internet user wants to copy his or her favorites or bookmarks from one browser to another? A novice might find this process rather confusing.
Say, for example, a person wants to transfer the entire list of bookmarks from Mozilla Firefox to Google Chrome. Some sort of bookmark converter app is required that can easily carry out the copy process from one browser to another. There are similar type of software tools available that can easily copy the Bookmarks or Favorites from browser to another. Let’s have a look at some such effective software tools.
1) Xmarks

It allows the user to synchronize bookmarks from different locations without going though complicated procedures. During earlier days, it was used only for Firefox browsers. But presently, it also acts as an extension to IE and Safari.
Once the Xmarks extension is installed, there will be visible some new icons close to the Google Search tab. It also includes “sync the saved password” option. This allows the user to save passwords in the home browser and then share them to any other browser with the Xmarks extension installed.
