Just tried it and I get sync errors within chrome. Based on the comments, I'm apparently not the only one with that problem.

Anyway, my linux situtation is temporary. Once I get my ESX server up and running I won't need to do much browsing within linux itself since I'll be accessing VMs from my 7 box which has chrome installed.

Thanks though.

Oh, I didn't even realize that the Xmarks extension was available for Chrome -- I was just suggesting using it in FF if you needed bookmark sync between Windows and Linux computers. Glad to hear you have a solution sorted out.

No, I don't really like firefox. I only use it on one computer where I'm really paranoid about security and leaking information from my browser. Right now i've been forced to use it b/c I need something to work in VMWare that's not working on my windows-based vmware server, so my main PC is running centos right now, but it's only temporary until i build a standalone ESX server and get my desktop running windows 7 again. Will be glad to have chrome back. Actually, at this point i just do my browsing from within a vm.

Same here. Most especially my search plugins (like in my sig) combined with the organize search engines extension. At least IE and FF share the same plugin compatibility. Opera supports a proprietary version.
