+Frank B. Subscriber² Posted September 18, 2013 Subscriber² Share Posted September 18, 2013 Apple Releases Chrome and Firefox Extensions for Windows to Support iCloud Bookmark Syncing As part of a new 3.0 update for iCloud Control Panel for Windows, Apple has created new browser plugins for both the Chrome and Firefox Windows apps. Using the plugins, Windows users can now sync their iOS Safari bookmarks with the Chrome and Firefox browsers. Previously, browser syncing was limited to Internet Explorer. iCloud keeps mail, contacts, and calendars up to date between your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, and Windows PC, and lets you share calendars and task lists. iCloud also keeps your Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Google Chrome bookmarks on Windows in sync with your Safari bookmarks on iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac. With My Photo Stream, iCloud automatically downloads the photos you take with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your PC, ? and any photos you add to My Photo Stream are automatically available on your other devices set up with iCloud. You can also share photos and videos with just the people you choose, and invite friends to add their own photos, videos, and comments with iCloud Photo Sharing. Note: To create an iCloud account you need an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later, or a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later. Microsoft Outlook 2007 or later or an up-to-date browser is required for accessing email, contacts, and calendars. The iCloud Bookmarks extension is required for syncing bookmarks with Firefox or Google Chrome. iCloud Control Panel can be downloaded from Apple's website. The new Chrome andFirefox extensions can be downloaded from their respective websites. Source: Mac Rumors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattking Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Can a developer comment on whether it would be possible to modify either the Chrome or Firefox extension so that it would work on the Mac or Linux platform? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
