I find that Firefox (With X-marks) and Opera have a big advantage over
Safari for me. I have them set up to automatically synchronize my
bookmarks & passwords over the Web - even with my Windows machine at
work.

Safari will also do that if you have a MobileMe account.

Not worth getting MobileMe for that, really, but if you already have
MobileMe...

There's an App for that. Xmarks has a plug-in for Safari on the Mac. It
works as OK as the FF Xmarks. It's useful for keeping my FF and Safari
bookmarks synced up.

Heck, Xmarks works with Safari, too. I've been using it to keep Firefox
and Safari synced, on my two Macs, for many months now.
