How to synchronize bookmark between two computers for my web browser? I have two computers, one at home and a laptop, it used to be hard for me to keep the same sets of bookmark on both computers. Not anymore, with Google Chrome 4 beta and the new Sync Bookmark feature, the best thing about this feature is the changes are instant. No saving or any delay.

I believe this is a unique feature, it might shave a few percent of market share from IE and Firefox, unless they too decided to innovate. Undeniably, Firefox is lacking behind Google Chrome in term of feature and stability.

According to a recent test, Google Chrome 4 is 30% faster. To be honest, am not sure what they meant by fast. I’ve been surfing the internet for ages, since the days of Netscape, IE3 and Opera 1 beta. With every new browser, each claim to be faster than the previous version, by now, it should be at least 1000 times faster, right?

I am a Mozilla Firefox user, and I wish the guys from Firefox could come up with an online bookmarks sync feature. There are plugins that does the required task, but the whole idea of having a sync bookmark is the ability to access them wherever I am, regardless of the privileges I have on the computer, especially in places such as public libraries or cybercafes where I do not have administrative access to install plugins.

With all these new features coming out from Google Chrome, am thinking of moving back to Google Chrome again. Back then when it was in beta, it crashed too often and comes with too many bugs and I decided to move back to firefox. Google Chrome Bookmark Sync is not yet official, to enable bookmarks sync you should be running developer build of Google Chrome. To enable this feature, follow the step by step tutorial:

Right-click on the Google Chrome shortcut, on the shortcut tab you have a Target field with a path like this (if you use XP it will be different) “C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe”
Add “–enable-sync” to the end of the line with a space, like this
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe –enable-sync
Apply the change and click “Ok” to exit.
Now restart the Google Chrome browser, go to tools menu you will see “Sync my bookmarks” link. Click on that it will prompt a Google Account signin box, signin and you are done.

Google Chrome uses Google Docs to store the bookmarks, the lists are stored in Google Servers using XMPP protocol so bookmarks are synced instantly. You can access your bookmark in Google Docs. Cool!
