Google has announced that it is going to discontinue its Browser Sync Firefox extension with the launch of the Firefox 3 browser. So, you can enjoy this extension only till around the end of this year as it will not be updated for the upcoming version of Firefox.
Google Browser Sync is a Firefox extension that synchronizes your bookmarks, Web history, browser sessions, and passwords across multiple computers by temporarily saving them to Google's servers.
The search giant explains though their blog that Browser Sync was the project of a small team, which has now moved on to other projects. Hence, it is not being maintained and there will be no updates for this in Firefox 3. The service will be available only till the end of 2008. However, those who choose to continue using Firefox 2 will get Google's support for it throughout the year.
At the same time, giving other options to replace the same, Google recommends:
- Mozilla Weave from Mozilla Labs
- Google Toolbar for Firefox
- Foxmarks Bookmark Synchronizer
- The latest version of Opera.
