Google Chrome bookmarks are separate from those saved in Google Bookmarks. While it’s currently not possible to automatically sync these two sets of bookmarks, you can use a bookmarklet to easily create Google Bookmarks in Google Chrome.

Drag this bookmarklet to the Google Chrome bookmarks bar: Google Bookmark

Any time you visit a webpage that you want to save to your Google Bookmarks page, simply click the bookmarklet in the bookmarks bar.

This makes no sense to me at all. Why have all of these web services and then not integrate them with your browser? If google would have synced all of my currently sorted bookmarks into the browser then I would use chrome. As of now it’s just another damn browser I have to test sites against.

Elegance is not a dispensable luxury but a quality that decides between success and failure.
