You have it here http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/snapshots/ Just try the latest. In lifehacker.com there is a link to a tool that gets the latest build only if it passed the testing so you always download a working version. Else just wait a little in a couple of months you'll surely have it on chrome auto-magically. Willie.

I suppose one of these days I'll have to embrace the cloud :-) I tried out the suggestions from you all, but it is sure hard to beat hitting control-B and just having all my bookmarks right there!

It leads me to believe that one day Google will have the webOS figured out and instant on happiness will be finally viable, due to solid state hard drives. I would like Google to support sketch-up in their browser that would be tricked out. Chrome is a great browser.

Update the file from anywhere, use it anywhere, and it's kept private to me. I also use del.icio.us for bookmarks that can be easily categorized (vs. stuff like insurance account login, etc., where I like to organize the info on my bookmarks page) and that I don't mind being public. Finally, I've been using yodlee for tracking almost all my financial accounts. I love free stuff.

My IT dept is on an old version of IE, and so I couldn't use IE7, which forced the switch. I really like a bunch of Chrome's features, but I'm still really missing IE7's RSS reader, esp when coupled with Outlook's support for RSS feeds. THe workflow with both of them working together was pretty sweet. I use Chrome about 90% of the time now. My IT dept is on an old version of IE, and so I couldn’t use IE7, which forced the switch.

You can have it feature-rich, or you can have it small, fast and agile. You can't have both :-) Firefox 3.5 RC3 has just dropped, and I find the javascript performance increase is substantial. At work we have an HTML-based documentation solution that uses javascript for index building and search. Loading the frameset containing that JS used to choke Firefox 3 for several seconds (as in, hourglass cursor, no UI response). Chrome loaded it almost instantly... and 3.5 feels pretty much the same. Still takes a while to launch, though, especially under OS X. It’s the classic trade-off, isn’t it? You can have it feature-rich, or you can have it small, fast and agile. You can’t have both :-)

Or, just start keeping all your bookmarks at delicious.com, which you should be doing anyway... Then they're sync across not only machines, but browsers! :) Install Dropbox on all the PCs, and see if you can get the Chrome bookmarks file to live in it.
