Now that I have started using FireFox, I was immediately interested in using Xmarks (formerly Foxmarks); however, it differs from Live Sync in that it stores your bookmarks on it's own servers (whereas Live Sync syncs via an encrypted PC to PC stream, and does not store your data anywhere else). How secure is Xmarks? What level of comfort is there if you stored Account ID information in the Favorites "Properties"?

I am using Maxthon, which is based on IE. But it appeared that Foxmarks doesn't recognise Maxthon, and has uploaded IE favourites. Is Maxthon after all NOT compatible with Foxmarks?
