Yesterday we mentioned the disheartening news that the next major Safari release would do away with InputManagers. In the comments, Kuswanto provided a useful tip for managing and accessing your bookmarks with multiple browsers on the same machine. Doing so would allow users to move between Firefox, Safari, or any other OS X internet browser without missing any of their favorite bookmarks.

The useful utility is called bookit.

Bookit now supports Shiira, as well as: Safari, Camino, Firefox, Omniweb, Opera, Mozilla, iCab, Internet Explorer and Netscape web browsers. Written in Cocoa, Bookit natively supports Mac OS X so it works just like all your other Mac OS X applications. Complete with all the bells and whistles you’d expect, like sheets, drawers and toolbars.

There is a $12 registration fee, but some users may find the fee acceptable if they are constantly moving between different browsers.
