If you use an Android phone, I would recommend using Firefox on both your phone and as your desktop browser. The latest FF builds (v4 and v5) have a sync feature which synchronizes all your history, bookmarks AND open pages in your browser. The best part about the feature is the ability to add multiple "machines" which I use to easily sync my stuff across my home computer, my work desktop and my mobile.

A very common usage scenario for me: I'm in the midst of reading a couple of webpages (most likely very heavily commented HN articles) and suddenly, I realise my train is arriving soon and I've to make a quick dash to the station. Once I get on the train, fire up FF on my phone, sync and in an instant, all my open tabs on my work computer is on my mobile.
