Keeping Bookmarks in Sync

I’m a web designer, so I’m constantly bouncing around between different web browsers on my Mac. Is there any way to keep my bookmarks synchronized between all of my web browsers?
We tested several programs that claimed to sync bookmarks between different browsers, but each was problematic in one way or another. So we think that the best answer is to “think different” about your question to begin with.
Instead of syncing your bookmarks, what if you could see all of your bookmarks from all of your browsers at all times in one unified location? And what if any duplicate bookmarks between your web browsers were automatically eliminated, showing you only one instance of each bookmark? And what if you could access all of these bookmarks using a keyboard shortcut?
Oh, good, we thought so. Your best solution is AllBookmarks (free, www.agilewebsolutions.com), which places an icon in your menubar that does all that bookmark magic for you. AllBookmarks works with Safari, Firefox, OmniWeb, Camino, and Flock, and Opera support is planned. Best of all, it’s free!

The little S+F in the lower-left corner means the highlighted bookmark appears in both Safari and Firefox.
