Google Chrome Gets Extension Syncing, New Dev Channel Release

The latest dev channel of Google Chrome browser (version 6.0.437.1 for Windows and Linux and  6.0.437.2 for Mac) has integrated a very useful feature: extension syncing! Now you can synchronize installed extensions on different machines along with the bookmarks, themes and preferences.

How To Sync Extensions In Google Chrome

This feature has not landed in the stable channel so far, so if want to try this now – you should upgrade to dev channel of Google Chrome. Once you have the latest dev channel release (6.0.437.1 or higher) – add the following command line switch/flag to Google Chrome shortcut:

--enable-sync-extensions

This switch enables extension synchronization feature of Google Chrome – which is disabled by default. Now, Go to Chrome Options > Personal Stuff > Sync and hit the Customize.. button. Select Extensions here. (see the screenshot)

Stop Button

Another small change in this release: the Reload button has been detached from the omnibox, and combined with the Stop button.
