some clarifications. I don't know who added the sentence that chromium should never appear anywhere. this is obviously a move by google going for total control.

and that's also the reason why I'm using chromium and NOT chrome: because with chromium I can be sure it won't phone google every minute and tell them where in the web I'm doing what.

call me paranoid but once you start thinking about google, well the more you think about it, the more you try to stay away from their products.

since you can be sure that the handeling will always be the same as with chrom, why not support it? there are more paranoids (besides me) out there then you probably think.

and with the names it's not that hard to differentiate: chrome (that is the google-browser: evil) and chromium (that is the open-source branch, that chrome is coming from: good).

not that complex at all.

I haven't tried your suggestion yet, but maybe just give chromium implementation a thought... and sleep a night over it. you can be one of the few, securing us users when google takes over the world 

Hey Jerry,

"woot". That was a fast response.

As I wrote I'm not using chrom but chromium (which is the open source spin off, from which chrome is actually built).

The specific file you are refering to, (but for chromium) can be found in the following location:
~/LibraryApplication Support/Chromium/Default/Bookmarks
Right below there's also a Bookmarks.bak file.

Am I right to assume that chromium has to be implemented seperately from chrome?

If you're not sure about chrome vs. chromium, here's the Wikipedia-article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromium_%28web_browser%29

Ok, I tried, but when I setup a new Bookmarkshelf, Chrome does not appear as a selection for my export clients. What I actually want to do is use Firefox as my main Bookmark-Client and sync that via Bookmacster to Safari + Chromium + Firefox (Jondofox).

Am I missing somthing?

Hi Jerry,

I don't use Google Bookmarks. Are you all that keen to have google knowing excately which sites you visit and have bookmarked?

Besides that privacy issues, what I would like to do is sync my firefox bookmarks with chromium-browser on mac.

Is that already possible? 

Cheers,
FE

Someone told me yesterday that the alpha/beta/whatever version of Google Chrome, called 'chromium', does do Google Bookmarks sync.  I tried to build it yesterday but the build failed.  Not surprising, with a gigabyte of source code!  Will try to "check out" again.

Yes, I've downloaded it but not done any work on it yet.  I'm still trying to get over my amazement that Google Chrome has absolutely no integration with Google Bookmarks.  A couple years ago Google added a box to the Google Bookmarks page suggesting that users should try out Google Notebook instead of Google Bookmarks.  Then last year they announced that, whoops, Google Notebook would be discontinued.  So now we're back with Google Bookmarks, although they're still not promoting it.  And then Google Chrome comes out with the old-fashioned on-disk bookmarks storage, using yet another proprietary text file format.  You'd think that a 21st-century company like Google would have went for something "in the cloud", or at least they would have used a standard file format such as XBEL.

Anyhow, their file format will not be difficult to reverse engineer.  We just need to get done with BookMacster Beta and then I need to get over my bewilderment.  If anyone with a view on what is going on over there at the Googleplex in Mountain View wants to drop me a line, either privately or publicly, that would be great.
