Mac Users Can Now Enjoy Bookmark Sync, Extensions in Chrome
Posted on 11. Feb, 2010 by Daniel Cawrey in News, Tips
Google has announced today that the Chrome Beta 5 browser for Mac now has support for Bookmark Sync and Extensions. Bookmark Sync allows users to have access to their bookmarks from whatever computer they can access their Google account from. Extensions are small applications that allow for additional functionality mo found in the standard release of the browser application, and are created by independent developers outside of Google.
You can check out the official directory for Google Extensions right here. With thousands of extensions already available, it can be a bit overwhelming to decide which ones to install without feeling like you are overloading your browser with bloat. If you’re interested, I have written an article about some useful extensions you might be interested in trying out that I have found to be useful to my browsing experience.
The task manager has also been integrated into this new version. Since tabs in Chrome are running as separate processes, this can be helpful in casa a page or application within the tab becomes unstable and/or is buggy. There also now is Cookie Manager in Tools as well.
Google has posted a video for users who are interested in trying out the browser for themselves:
For users who already have Chrome – don’t worry about updating, as the browser will do so itself. You can always go to your tools menu (wrench icon) and go to About Google Chrome to see if you have the latest beta release, which is 5.0.307. Remember, this is for beta users of Chrome 5, not the stable release of Chrome 4.
You can get Chrome 5 Beta here if you don’t have it already. Users who are interested in checking out the entire release information put out by Google themselves can check out the entire post right here.
