A new beta release of the Google Chrome browser introduces bookmark synchronisation and delivers further speed improvements.

Google has delivered a new beta release of its Chrome browser, with bookmark sync as the headline feature.

Bookmark sync transfers any changes to the bookmarks on one computer to all the others linked through a Google account.

According to Google software engineers Idan Avraham and Anton Muhin, the synchronisation occurs within seconds and uses the servers behind Google Talk.

There was no indication of when this feature is likely to arrive in a stable release.

The latest beta is claimed to be 30% faster than the current stable release of Chrome, at least according to Mozilla's Dromeao DOM Core tests of JavaScript performance.

Google Chrome is still a Windows-only program.
