Google Brings Chrome Extensions, Bookmark Sync To Macs!

Today Google announced via a blog post that it has enabled extensions support in the latest beta of its Chrome browser for Apple’s OS X. Users can expect their browsers to update in the next day or so.

Good news for users of Google’s Chrome browser on the Apple platform. Extensions and bookmarking are now fully supported (thank goodness!).

The new version means users can take advantage of more than 2,200 extensions that add features and bolster the usability of Chrome within Mac OS. Extensions can be selected and managed through the options menu.

As for bookmarks, Google explains that bookmarks can be synced between multiple computers, even between Macs, Windows and Linux machines. It also adds bookmark and cookie managers “in a way that feels completely at home on the Mac.” A new Task Manager will help power users keep better track of tabs.

For the impatient, the new version can be downloaded right away. The version number is 5.0.307. The link is here. Haven’t tried it yet? Well it seems to be catching on fast and is super fast, so you might want to give it a shot because it could just replace your current browser… it sure did for me!

Here are a couple of videos that Google through together to explain how it all works.
