Mozilla Weave 1.0 released

The Mozilla Labs have released the final version of Mozilla Weave, the Firefox and Fennec extension to synchronize user data amongst all your Firefox powered devices.

Of course alternatives like Xmarks (formely Foxmarks) already existed for a long time, Weave is more than just bookmarks synchronization (although not really cross browser). Mozilla Weave is all about user data in the cloud, meaning your bookmarks, preferences, passwords, history and tabs. The beauty of it is that Mozilla Labs both offers the extension for clients to use with Mozilla's servers, as well as the server portion to host it yourself (for you, family and friends for instance). Of course syncing your passwords sounds scary, but Mozilla Weave uses encryption to make sure all your personal data is safe.

You can download Mozilla Weave from the add-ons page; in the future expect even more elaborate synchronization with the cloud, such as your installed add-ons (yay!) and a possible inclusion in future Firefox releases. Mozilla Weave is a recommended download for Firefox users, as it transcends both Chrome's bookmarks sync as well as Opera Link in form and function and keeps your data safe.
