In the future, all browsers will be able to sync their bookmarks across multiple PCs. It only makes sense.

Firefox and Internet Explorer users can already get this functionality courtesy of Xmarks (arguably the best add-on ever), but Google is baking it right into Chrome.

Want to take it for a test-drive? A newly released Chrome beta includes built-in bookmark syncing. This short video shows you the ropes:

The beta also promises a 30-percent speed increase over the current version (which is already pretty dang fast).

So what do you think? Would built-in bookmark syncing be enough to get you to switch to Chrome? What about the speed bump?

Me, I’m still perfectly happy with Firefox (plus Xmarks), and can’t see much point in making a change.

Got a tech dilemma? We're here to help.

    Until Chrome syncs with Firefox and IE both (like Xmarks), it will be of no use to me. Xmarks is so much more powerful and flexible than what Google is offering. But you know that.

    However, I might use Chrome more often if there were an Xmarks add-in.
