New extension finally brings Google Bookmarks support to Chrome

When we first got a sniff of Chrome from the infamous comic book pages, most of us figured that a Google browser would feature tight integration with Google's web-based services. Though I guess if you count the metrics Google gathers via Chrome, that counts as a kind of integration. It's just not what we were looking for.

Thanks to a new extension, you can now easily add Google Bookmarks support to Chrome. Grab GBX from Uninformed Opinion and you'll be enjoying bookmark portability bliss in no time. After compiling my list of 15+ bookmarklets, I was glad to get my hands on GBX to keep my home and work systems running in step (and finally get my pitifully outdated Google Bookmarks current).

After installing GBX, you have the option of replacing your bookmarks bar, adding a Google Bookmarks folder to it, or loading your items into the 'other bookmarks' folder. You can also customize the folder hierarchy and sort order and choose how often you want to refresh the folder.

At last, a simple way to keep at least your bookmarks in sync across multiple machines running Chrome!

Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet. They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
