The workaround method of sorting Google Chrome bookmarks

The Chrome bookmark manager is the pits. Sorry for such harsh language, but I’ve got to be truthful here. Anyway, I became sick of my disorderly bookmarks and came up with a way around Chrome’s management.

1. Get Firefox. I switched from FF to Chrome, so I always have the app around.
2. First get the XMarks extension on both FF and Chrome
3. Sort away on the Firefox Bookmark manager.
4. Click synchronize on FF’s Xmarks
5. Click synchronize on Chrome’s Xmarks
6. There you go – order is restored.

Is this stupid? Yes. Would I like GC to handle this better? Yep. Is this silly workaround worth it? Only if you’re a “Sort by name” freak like me.

Gigawhat: Episode 7 ??? The World According to Google

It’s a Googolplex of Google stories (okay, maybe not THAT many). Still Google makes several of the headlines for the week with a Gmail update, Android apps, smartphones, mini-tablets, and of course, the net neutrality argument.

What is net neutrality? Iyaz and I break it down and talk about why Google has suddenly become considered (by some) as “evil.” Speaking of evil, we also provide details to protecting against evil exploit attacks and phone hackings. What do you need to do? Find out in this week’s episode!
