Bookmark management comes to Google Chrome
Google Chrome 0.4.154.18 gets a bookmark manager.
(Credit: CNET News)Google has released a new developer-oriented version of Chrome that brings better bookmark management to the Web browser.
People could import bookmarks to the earlier versions of the browser, but version 0.4.154.18 adds the a bookmark manager. "You can search bookmarks, create folders, and drag and drop bookmarks to new locations," said Chrome Program Manager Mark Larson in an e-mail announcement.
The latest developer release of Chrome.
(Credit: CNET News)It's a developer release, so only those who've subscribed to the Chrome developer channel will get the new version.
Another change comes to the browser's pop-up blocker. Previously, it "just minimized pop-up windows to the lower-right corner of the browser window," with a window for each pop-up. Now there's a notification number and a menu to open a specific pop-up window if desired.
A "moderate" security issue also is fixed in which "downloaded HTML files (could) read other files on your computer and send them to sites on the Internet," Google said.
The release notes have further details about disabling spell-check, improving Japanese input, and other matters.

Use each browser to it's fullest extent, using any innate abilities it has only, do a side by side comparison doing the same tasks in whatever way is fastest on that particular browser, including posting to a blog, checking email, searching, loading and watching a youtube video, logging into myspace (since chrome has problems checking facebook), and whatever else you can throw at them. I've looked at both and can give a fairly reasonable estimation of how they'll fair against each other, but I'll leave that up to the testers at CNet. Give fair media coverage to both in a side by side comparison and see if the Google name is carrying Chrome or if it's really the quality of the browser itself, as it should be if it's really worth all this media attention.
