Sweet, the dev channel has been upgraded to 4.0.249 :) Bookmark sync works – sweet!

I didn’t think to change the menu entry. I’d just been modifying the icon on the gnome-panel.

Worked great! Thanks a lot, d0od.

Remove Chromium from Docky, change the menu entry as the article, re-add it to docky.

This is a great feature to see.

Unfortunately, I tend to launch Chromium via a launcher in Docky, not otherwise (otherwise, it works just fine). I pinned Chromium to Docky using the “Pin to Dock” option, while running a sync-capable session. But every time I open the browser via Docky’s launcher (and only there), it seems to run Chromium without any command-line arguments. Anyone know a way around this? Is this perhaps a bug with Docky?

Google Docs is the future GDrive, so google bookmarks is out of the game

Thanks d0od! I understand now. I’ll see how it works for me now.

Thanks for pointing out the alpha…just gave it a go. While it obviously need some more work it is better than nothing. I think i may give Chromium a little run, stretch its legs and see how it performs!

XMarks have a Alpha version of their browser sync extension – i happily sync between Chromium, Chrome and Firefox over Ubuntu AND Windows 7.

While this is a good feature and I’m happy it finally works, is there still no way to sync across different browsers?

That would be the perfect solution for me and Chromium might actually get some user time with me finally!

You’re certainly not stupid, Google are! Currently bookmarks are stored in Google Docs and you don’t really need to worry about them; they’ll automatically sync with another browser if you log into bookmark sync on another browser.

I’m feeling pretty stupid, but I don’t understand how to use it.
I mean, I have enabled the function in the launcher, and…what? I add a bookmark by clicking on the star, but then where do I retrieve the bookmarks? I don’t see them in my google.com/bookmarks page!
Anyone can help this old fool? thanks

its a lot better than xmarks for now, but xmarks is cross browsers sync, anyway i don’t use anything but Chrome :)

Your version number is Chrome’s current dev release version… This only works on Chromium as stated. The most up-to-date Chromium via the daily PPA is 4.0.249.0

Um, what version are you all running? Still doesn’t work for me on 4.0.245.1

Does this sync to google documents still, or does it do google bookmarks now?

Great to see this finally implemented. Now I’ll have to choose between this method & xmarks.
