Is there any way to import bookmarks from a desktop browser (any really, I'll work out the conversion) or from an html/xml file into the standard browser on the SGS2 (Internet app) in a way the retains folder structure? All of the methods I've tried (e.g., MyBookmarks, GMarks, importing into Dolphin browser and then exporting) at best manage to put the bookmarks into "Most visited" as a flat list. Kies can create bookmarks but, as far as I can tell, only one at a time, and there's no way to create folders. The app itself can create folders but there doesn't seem to be a way to import bookmarks. Any ideas?
Work around i used on SGS 1 was to save bookmarks on PC as html .
Copy that to a folder on SD card open that html bookmark file load the relevant site and then bookmark it in the phone .
Import bookmarks never got that to work .
However the same method may work with Dolphin use the Dolphin Bookmarks to SD app save existing bookmarks this creates a folder .
Navigate to Tunny Browser file open open bookmarks and paste in bookmarks from PC .

I use google chrome on my desktop, so I use this app https://market.android.com/details?id=com.h.chromemarks&feature=search_result 'ChromeMarks' to sync my bookmarks.
Then I just open up the app on my phone, and upon clicking on a bookmark, it will ask my which browser to use. You can select a default action aswell, so it just goes straight to browser A forexample.
Ok just tested this method copy bookmarks to phone from PC into Dolphin Browser .
Install Dolphin Bookmarks to SD from market .
Run app and export bookmarks to create folder bookmarks .
On PC save bookmarks as bookmarks.html .
Copy to phone Via USB Dropbox Wifi whatever . to internal sd card Tunny Browser Bookmarks folder .
Open Bookmarks to SD and Import selection the file you just copied across .
Worked with my two hundred odd bookmarks .

Very interested in everyone's comments and experience on this thread as I'm a browser addict and the good rendering speed was a big part of the reason why I bought an SGS2.
I tried Chrome to phone, Dolphin Bookmark Sync and Firefox Sync plugin all to no avail. It's not that they don't work, it's just that CtP will just create an app with no true integration with your mobile browser, Dolphin doesn't support subfolders and neither does FF.
In fact, the 'best' solution I found was to *gasp* switch from Chrome to Opera on my two desktops, enable OperaSync and now I can use opera mobile on android with all the bookmarks synced between the 3 devices.
Interestingly, Opera is also the only mobile browser to support ALL of the following: 'open in background tab' type click, proper UA spoofing and subfolders in bookmarks, and sync of course.
I can't wait for the next release of Android to come out - hopefully they will make a 'chrome-like' something the default browser and enable a sync over the cloud.
What do you guys think?

Yes, this does work well - thanks. The other (similar) possibility that works is to use Firefox Sync within Firefox Mobile and the desktop client. I don't really like the mobile version, though. Opera Mobile is better, but I was (am) really hoping to use the native browser.
Google chrome
firefox
opera
What about Dolphin browser?
I am very picky when it comes to browser
1.CM browser
2.Maxthon Browser
3.stock browser
Google is one of the worst. Its few good points are the synch between desktop and Android and reducing the size of visited webs when you are using Mobile Internet.

Hi,
We are using a IIS Server to authenticate the user with a certificate against OWA (Outlook Web Access) on Android phones with the Google Chrome Browser.
The authentication is working fine.
But when the device has more than one certificate the user gets a pop-up to chose the right certificate. And the selection is not saved in the Google Chrome Browser. So every time the user wants to access OWA, he has to chose the correct certificate.
Is there a way to bypass this pop-up? And is there a way to store the selection?
Thanks.
