Extensions, bookmark sync and more for Google Chrome
January 25, 2010
Today we're excited to introduce a new stable release of Google Chrome for Windows, which includes two of the browser's most frequently requested features: extensions and bookmark sync.
Extensions
let you add new features and functions to your browser. Some provide one-click access to some of your favorite web applications like
eBay
and
digg
, or news and information sources such as
NPR
and
Time.com
. Others are useful tweaks for performing common online tasks such as browsing photos, getting directions or shopping.
We
previously launched
extensions on the beta
channel
, and many new extensions have since been contributed by developers from all over the world. Now you can browse over 1,500 in our
extensions gallery
and install them on the stable version of Google Chrome.
Bookmark sync is a handy feature for those of you who use several computers — say, a laptop at work and a desktop at home. You can
enable bookmark sync
to synchronize your bookmarks on all of your computers so that when you create a bookmark on one computer, it's automatically added across all your computers. This means that you won't need to manually recreate the bookmark each time you switch computers.
You can read more about today's stable release — including performance improvements — on the
Google Chrome Blog
. Or if you want a look under the hood at what this update means for web developers (including new HTML and Javascript APIs), check out the
Chromium blog
.
To those using Google Chrome on Linux, extensions are enabled on the
beta channel
. And for those using Google Chrome for Mac, hang tight — we're working on bringing extensions, bookmark sync and more to the beta soon. Those currently using the stable version for Windows will be automatically updated within the next week (or you can
check for updates manually
).
If you're on a PC and haven't tried Google Chrome yet, you can
download Google Chrome
and give all these new features a whirl.
