If you’re like me then you probably have multiple computers that are constantly in rotation. Or you might be using a work computer and so you don’t have access to your usual collection of tabs and bookmarks that you’d like. The familiarity of your home browser is nice right?
Well Dropbox, my favourite find ever comes in to save the day, again. With the use of a the lovely little portable versions of Google Chrome and Firefox and a few other extensions you can have the familiarity of your home browser anywhere without having to carry around a memory stick as seen above.
Now lets get started, get yourself Dropbox by clicking ME.
Ok, now that that's installed. get these, one or the other, or both if you’re partial to switching browsers:
When you download them make you pick their install path as the Dropbox folder. (As portable apps they take up minimal space)
Now for those of you who are completely lost as to where we’re going now it’s all quite simple. Get yourself Google Sync for Firefox and this will sort you out.
For those using Chrome, in options you’ll find sync computer settings in the basic browser settings.
Now it’s just that simple function of syncing you’re browsers.
Ta-Da you’re done. Now you have some fully portable apps wherever you go, and its all there in your Dropbox and no one else can gain access to anything you’ve browsed, including history, mistakenly left open Facebook's etc.
If you require any other portable apps, for anything from video editing, to openoffice, check out this site; Portable Apps
