Google has already launched bookmark syncing for users on the dev channel of its Chrome web browser. This will allow you to keep your browser bookmarks in sync no matter which of your computers you are using.

Syncing has been a standard feature of Apple's Safari browser for some months now, but you need MobileMe for it to work. And Firefox users can download add-ons like Xmarks (previously called Foxmarks) to get the functionality, but with Chrome it will be built-in, and most prominently, unlike MobileMe, free. Google notes that the bookmarks are stored on users Google account alongside Google Docs for easy web access and sync via XMPP.

To activate this feature, you apparently have to launch the dev version of Chrome with the "enable-sync command-line flag".". If you understand what that means, you're fine to go. If not, you'll probably want to wait for the feature to hit the regular release channel, something that will probably happen relatively soon.

Bookmark management emerge to have been provisionally disabled on the latest versions of Chromium for Mac, after they were first turned on last week. When they come back, expectantly this syncing will work for Macs as well. To stay up-to-date on the latest versions of Chromium for Mac, check out our updater tool.
