Google’s new browser is missing something
OK…Google has released a browser and I’m happy…well I was happy until I used it. Yes, yes it’s only a beta and I shouldn’t slam too hard but FFS Google. I assumed that Google creating a browser would be a Googler’s dream. I was wrong! I use all their products, from Gmail to reader and even their bookmarks and I assumed they would all be nicely integrated into the Chrome. Yes, I like how you can turn Gmail into an application, with it’s own shortcuts on the desktop. Yes, I like how when you boot up the application chrome loads in a minimal format….So what do I have to complain about….there is no Google bookmark integration at all. The bookmarks in chrome a local…wtf. Come on Google..Fairly basic thing there. Please fix.
Fail

OK…there is a work around…but its a work around..
Have you tried Google’s new browser, “Chrome”? It’s fast and it rocks. But there’s no Google Toolbar! How can you bookmark pages to a central location (Google Bookmarks)? Here’s how, in just a few quick and easy steps .
First, download Chrome (duh!) .
If you don’t already see a bookmarks bar (right below the address bar or “omnibar” and above the actual web page) turn it on by hitting CTRL-B (you can hide it anytime by hitting CTRL-B again).
Visit http://www.google.com/bookmarks and note the message at the bottom-middle “Bookmark pages more easily. Drag this bookmarklet to the Links area of your browser:”
Go ahead and—you guessed it—drag that little box to the bookmarks area of Chrome.
