PhoneFavs has just released a Safari Extension button for use with Apple’s Safari web browser. This small extension places a small PhoneFavs button in your Safari toolbar as seen highlighted below:

Clicking on the button will open the PhoneFavs “Add a Bookmark” screen in a new tab with the Page Title and URL already prepared. It’s a handy way to quickly add bookmarks to your PhoneFavs account in addition to the standard bookmark buttons.

The latest PhoneFavs update has added a few new convenient features for mobile surfers on the go.

Firstly, the URL structure has been simplified so that you can now access your personal Favs’ at:

http://phonefavs.com/username

Simply add your own username after the slash. This shorter (and easier to remember) URL makes directly accessing your Favs on your devices a breeze. Also the font for individual Favs has been embiggened with a larger clickable area for better finger browsability.

Some of the more recent PhoneFavs updates include some new functionality in the desktop browser toolbar buttons.

The Add a Fav form and the quick pop-over buttons now have the ability to remember your last privacy setting when saving links. If you prefer to select the private setting, it will remain selected the next time you go to save a link.

The browser buttons for your computer browser are the easiest way to save new bookmarks at PhoneFavs. They’re also great for quickly adding articles and content that you may want to revisit and read at a later time on your mobile device. We even have mobile bookmarklets that work with the iPhone, Opera Mini and a few other mobile browsers.

In addition, we have brought some optimizations online that should help the site run a bit quicker now.
