Dev Channel Update
by Anthony

The Windows Dev channel has been updated to 4.0.201.1.

This release contains all the fixes and changes from 3.0.197.11, plus one additional change: we've added bookmark synchronization!

To start using the feature, start Chrome with the "--enable-sync" flag, and go to "Wrench"->"Sync my bookmarks..."

For more details about bookmark synchronization go to: http://blog.chromium.org/

You can find out about getting on the Dev channel here: http://dev.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel.

If you find new issues, please let us know by filing a bug at http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/entry.

And extensions on this version dont work. Tried to install many times .. but no success.

Nice, all extensions work on my machine

Ups ... some of the extensions wont work...just tried gmail checker and works perfectly. Only aniweather wont work ... Did you tried aniweather extension ?

..and themes aren't compatible anymore (You were right sul)

@Sul

Only thing about the Sync is you got to have a Google account and it would have been better if you didn't have to have a command line enable ....

@Skid

Have you got extensions enabled ?

Yes ... they worked perfect in previous versions of google chrome. Now some of them dont work ... And themes also wont work.

One of the joys of being on the Dev channel ;-)

it would be obvious that users need a Google account to sync the bookmarks :-)
I am still trying to figure out how to access my bookmarks with Google though

and I do see the point of not adding command lines to the shortcut

EDIT
just a little bit about Chromium :-)
it doesn't has the sync feature

EDIT
oooops spoke too soon
added the command line --enable-sync to Chromium and the feature is available

@Sul:

I noticed you said you were still trying to figure out how to access your bookmarks... I think it's not fully ready just yet.

Check out: https://www.google.com/accounts/ManageAccount

After you enable syncing you will notice this friendly new icon and it (currently) says "New Service". Clicking it just brings you to Google's homepage.

So it's still in development. But I'm looking forward to this, thanks for the info!

@Steve:
Google will always "want" you to use their products, this is kinda of a first step for Chrome to be introduced to a cloud like environment.

Also the command line "switch" is standard, thats why its a dev build. Once its fully ready we'll see it come down to a beta build most likely with it already enabled, and then Stable.
