Google Chrome gains a bookmark manager
Google Chrome 0.4.154.25 is now available. Aside from having a nearly impossible to remember version number, the latest version of Google's web browser also has a few important updates, the most noticeable being the inclusion of a bookmark manager.
The bookmark manager allows you to import and export bookmarks in HTML format, which makes importing your bookmarks from Firefox or another web browser a snap. Of course, you run the risk of realizing just how out of date your bookmarks are when you do this, but that's another story for another day.
Google has also changed the way its pop-up manager works, by displaying the number of pop ups minimized in the corner of your screen. Google Gears and the V8 JavaScript Engine have also been updated in this release.

I am surprised they didn't go with a tag based folder system like in gmail. Now that I use tags in delicious I could never go back to straight folders. I can't wait till my OS supports all tags instead of folders.

This new version crashes everytime you try to select something in drop down menus, anyone with the same problem?

About time!
Now if they add support for add-ons and themes like firefox then it might possibly replace firefox for me.

Bookmark Manager? pfff
How about a decent, SECURE, password manager??
Chrome will only be my "other" browser until they can secure my passwords.

You can organize your bookmarks with Advanced URL Catalog a bookmark manager compatible with Google Chrome.
