I find the best way to keep bookmarks etc in chrome is to setup the sign in account with google and you can sync all your bookmarks from chrome to chromium and back again in the settings menu.

Chrome has a later flashplayer and h.264 codec included.
It feels really faster as FF.

I just tried the new chrome. It is creepy that they want me to sign in to google before I start browsing. I know you can get around it, but I don't trust that all of my browsing activity is not sent directly to google. I use startpage, and used to use skroogle, just to keep my searches from being logged by google. Now, they want everything.  >:( No, thanks.

I'm running it without ever having signed in to Google. It still works as expected. It's okay for general surfing, but the lack of colored tabs makes it rather difficult to use for administering the forum, where I usually have about 20 tabs open in Firefox. Color coded tabs makes a big difference with many tabs open.

Of what use be there for joy, if not for the sharing thereof?

I never sign in.
I have Startpage set as default search engine with most of the other deleted.
