It’s available only in Chromium (for now) and to show up you need to launch with the –enable-sync flag in the Terminal (for now) but Google’s browser fi-nal-ly can sync bookmarks exactly as the Windows version does.

Since Mac Chromium 4.0.224.3 (29991) which was released on 23rd October 2009 it is possible to drag n’ drop urls into the Bookmarks Bar.

The feature is not yet available in the latest Google Chrome for Macintosh, which is 4.0.223.11

p.s. Yes, I downloaded and tried out every build of that day to identify the exact one which has the feature enabled.

I appreciate and use a lot the social bookmarking features of Delicious but there are some issues which detract from the otherwise great experience of the site.

So here’s a list of pleas suggestions for the Delicious team about some things they could (and should) fix in the next version/revision.

1. When you click on the “save” button to add a bookmark to your account, Delicious could (and should) also copy the valuable “Notes” field (i.e. the description)
2. In the same way it could (and should) also copy the tags. In the meantime there’s a nice javascript bookmarklet that does it also adds a via:username tag
3. Disable the global “send” (i.e. sharing) of all bookmarks on Twitter and make it only a per item option.
4. Also: when sharing on Twitter Delicious could (and should) add automatically the title of the bookmark since the url shared on twitter show up as just a “mistery meat” icio.us with no clue about the content and destination.
5. In the Network list it would be nice if the apostrophes wouldn’t show up as Html entities

Here’s an error from the Chromium for Mac build 4.0.208.0 (25971) (when launched in the Terminal, with the —enable-sync flag which still has no effect, by the way):

“[556:267:4696610131638:ERROR:/b/slave/chromium-rel-mac/build/src/chrome/browser/cocoa/bookmark_editor_controller.mm(77)] Not implemented reached in void -[BookmarkEditorController awakeFromNib](BookmarkEditorController*, objc_selector*)”

Which by the way contradicts what MG Siegler of TechCrunch wrongly stated at the end of www.techcrunch.com/2009/08/31/builds-of-chrome-get-updated-to-show-off-their-snow-leopard-spots/ about the bookmark manager being available on Macs.

No such thing here, yet.

Chromium for Mac 3.0.198 when launched normally shows themes (there are two available so far) as extensions but doesn’t load the Delicious extension. For that you still need to launch the browser with the –enable-extensions flag

So: are there two kind of extensions?
Or browser themes (also known as skins) aren’t really extensions according to Chrome/Chromium?

Looks like the new "send" feature of Delicious allows you to add a short message (116 characters) to other users, i.e. the ones in the "for:username" tags. Yay! :)

And there’s even more new stuff!

The social aspect of Delicious has (finally) got a little boost.
Now you can “send” bookmarks from Delicious not only to other users who are in your network but also as a message on Twitter and via e-mail.

Here’s how the two options look like.
To send a link to Twitter you have to login to your account.

And here’s the e-mail forwarding. The form states that Delicious will remember and list e-mail addresses, in the same way it now does users from your network.
