It's just a bit harder to add a new bookmark. I know, I tried that once, but adding a bookmark is a real PITA, as is editing them. Of course it's doable, but far away from being as simple as few clicks in the browser. And actually you don't even have move your bookmarks, just put the bookmark file in your homepage somewhere. A little browsing brought XBEL¹ to my attention. Now it looks like exactly the solution I was looking for. Unfortunately it seems that only Konqueror supports that format natively, galeon uses also XML but in some internal format, AFAICT. I think I will take a look at how to adjust galeon to use XBEL natively too, as soon as I have the time. Maybe someone is willing to define a common format for cookies. :) Hmm, now that I started thinking about it, a lot of browser configuration could be collected in one place. How many times have you cursed at the different default fonts in different browsers? Or the proxy settings? (I have http_proxy environment variable set, but sometimes it looks like browsers that provide their own configuration variables for proxies, ignore it altogether.) Too much work for a quick hack, any takers? :) 1.
