Google Chrome Gets Bookmark Sync… Kind of

Google Chrome has released an update to their Internet browser application. I’ve been using it a little bit more. I checked out the update and was pleasantly surprised to find out that Google Chrome could now sync bookmarks. This is what I was waiting for to happen with the browser.

Not so quick!

When I first wrote about my experiences with the Google Chrome browser, I was shocked that there wasn’t more integration with Google‘s own applications. Applications like, oh I don’t know…Google Bookmarks perhaps!?

I couldn’t believe it! Here was a Google application, a web browser no less that couldn’t even install its own Google Toolbar to use with the browser. And with that omission, I can’t even access my Google Bookmarks easily with the browser. To me that was an amazing fail.

So I was hoping with this latest update to the browser and the announcement that I could now sync my bookmarks, this is what I had been waiting for all this time. Alas, still not what I expected. All it did was go read the bookmarks I had in my default browser, Firefox, and sync those with Google Chrome.

Can someone please tell me why Google Toolbar still can’t be installed with Google Chrome?
