Google Browser Sync停止开发支持Firefox 3的版本
根据 lifehacker 读者 hominid.todd 的消息，一位 Googler 邮件告知他 Google Browser Sync 将不再会继续开发支持 Firefox 3 的版本，而仅仅继续对 Firefox 2 下的 Google Broswer Sync 提供技术支持。
hominid.todd 说到，这位 Googler 在看到了文章《long-awaited status of the Browser Sync extension for Firefox 3》之后发了一封 Email 给他，告知开发 Browser Sync 的 team 由于加入了另一个项目并且非常忙碌，于是没有多余的时间来继续开发支持 Firefox 3 的版本。(Fiorano注：连那20%的时间都没了？)
之后这位 Googler 还推荐了几款 Google Browser Sync 的替代品，分别是：
- Mozilla Weave – Mozilla Labs 的产品，一项以提供书签和历史记录同步为主的服务，此外还可以同步cookies、密码与保存的表单(Weave Via Google)；
- Google Toolbar for Firefox - 这个不用多介绍了，并且今天还推出了最新的 Google Toolbar for Firefox 3；
- Foxmarks - 保持书签之间的同步的一款扩展 ；
不过我一直没有使用这款扩展，主要是因为 Google Browser Sync 会让所有使用这台计算机的人都能够使用到你同步的内容，并且Firefox 的profile 没有密码保护，这样自己的隐私容易泄露！
Email 原文如下:
Thanks for trying out Google Browser Sync and for all of your feedback. It was a tough call, but we decided to phase out support for Browser Sync. Since the team has moved on to other projects that are keeping them busy, we don’t have time to update the extension to work with Firefox 3 or to continue to maintain it.
For those of you who want to continue to use Firefox 2, we’ll maintain support for old versions of Google Browser Sync through 2008. After that, we can recommend a few other products that scratch a similar itch. We hope that one of them works for you:
Mozilla Weave [labs.mozilla.com] from Mozilla Labs—Offers bookmark and history synchronization across computers.
Google Toolbar for Firefox [toolbar.google.com]—Store your bookmarks online and access them from any computer online.
Foxmarks Bookmark Synchronizer [addons.mozilla.org]—Synchronizes your bookmarks across all computers where it is installed.
Regards, The Google Team

The problem isn’ t so much the lobbying money. After all, lobbyists represent people with real concerns about how federal dollars get allocated. The problem is the oozing hypocrisy of politicians who demonize lobbyists on one hand and then pander to …
