bookmarks without any problem. Manage and manipulate thousands, millions or even

You may be one of those sensible persons who likes to keeps all their options
open, and don't like to be tied down to one web browser. You may like to
experiment with different options to find the best solution for your needs. This
is fine, but what happens to your bookmarks? Are you having to export and import
bookmarks from one browser to another?
"What's the point in buying a bookmark manager while I have one on the browser
free?" A valid question if you have only a few bookmarks to manage. What happens
when your bookmarks list starts to grow? Doesn't it become so irritating to
locate a bookmark on a long list of sub lists of sub list and so on?
Additionally, at some point, you will realize keeping your bookmarks in
different forms in various separate programs becomes a headache. Before
committing to new versions and variations of web browsers you may want to test
them first. What happens to your bookmarking needs while testing them?
Starting point of utilizing a vast amount of information available on the
Internet, these days, is to know WHERE. To be able to access the source quickly
with ease. After all, that's why we all bookmark various web address relevant to
our personal or business needs, as and when we come across them. You have to
keep your information sources guarded well, if you don't want to be left behind.
The built-in bookmark capabilities of today's Web Browsers are just not good
enough when it comes to handling the number of URLs that most us want to collect
and manage.
Are you having to use more than one application to manage your bookmarks? Such
as password managers or similar security applications to protect your private
and confidential natured URL bookmarks? If you are, then you haven't tried
SurfGem yet. Yes, SurfGem enables you to assign a password to any bookmark file
you have created using SurfGem.
SurfGem is not dependent on any one web browser to store URL bookmarks. It's an
independent application that you can use with any of todays web browsers, side
by side, with it's handy small view facility. This means, SurfGem stores all
your URLs in one location, with it's own file format. Switching between browsers
will not effect SurfGem URL files or any of its data.
Information is a very valuable asset to own. A great deal of information these
days can be obtained from the Internet. The saying of 'If you can't find what
you are looking for on the Internet don't bother looking elsewhere' has a great
deal of truth in it. Use a reliable URLs bookmark manager like SurfGem to keep
the source of your information at your fingertips.
Visual Styles are very popular with todays applications. Changing the look of
the application to personalize is important for some. XP has built in three
visual styles however, you can't change only one application. SurfGem has the
ability to change it's visual theme style without you changing the whole system.
SurfGem comes with some "skins" however you are able to use the common msstyles
theme files that are abundant on the Internet.
Pop-Up Windows are the scourge of today's Internet. How can we concentrate on
surfing the web for valuable information if we are bombarded with annoying popup
windows. SurfGem can eliviate part of this problem. Built into the SurfGem
browser is a facility to control new windows when requested, there is also a
Multi-Tab Page bar so you can open multiple web pages but they are organized and
viewed when you want them to show.
