I agree with Christian Walde.
In my opinion individual browser-based, plain old, regular bookmarks are DEAD.

The correct answer to the problem Opera Link is trying to solve by syncing bookmarks was solved far better by del.icio.us and other social bookmarking sites years ago. Perhaps if instead of simply syncing bookmarks from one browser to another, Opera Link would allow users to tag and share bookmarks between users too, I would be interested.

Now, if Opera Link could syncronize sessions- I would be ecstatic because I will no longer have to save a session, upload the file to my webserver, download it when I get home, and load it on my home browser. That is what I want to do- not just bookmarks but page locations and numerous tabs all synced at once.

Well I just grabbed the Mini 4 Beta 3 and how amazing is that to see the same bookmarks on my SE w880 as on my work and home PCs. Fantastic stuff guys and gals at Opera.

Opera Link is very cool and given it’s 1.0 release status things can only get better from here on in.

I haven’t used bookmarks since roughly 3 years now. Is there any chance of seeing link also synch sessions?

Please don’t close Opera’s synchronisation abilities to a single server (link.opera.com). There should be an easy way for all servers (including del.icio.us) to use Opera’s synchronisation features.

Nice feature. I’ll definitely find this useful when using my laptop on vacation.

I’m still waiting for Firefox-like spell checking though.

awesome, funny how I (and others) had suggested this when opera announced 9.5 with its synchronisatin abilities - I guess great minds think alike. Now if we could get labelling and userjs (as well as other personal data) added, I would be very happy

Diego, yes. On the bottom right corner it says ‘Syncronizing…’

Is this the new feature that was pictured in the bottom left of the browser window that people where guessing at a few months ago?
