Google released Chrome Beta v4.0.223.16 which is the first Beta release for 4.0. This release includes many bug fixes and for the first time Bookmark Sync is enabled.

Users who use several computers -- for example, a laptop at work and a desktop at home -- will be asked for a way to keep their Google Chrome bookmarks in sync across multiple computers. Today's new beta release allows users to keep their Google Chrome bookmarks synchronized and up-to-date across the multiple computers theyr use, without needing to manually recreate their bookmarks every time they use a different computer.

Once users have activated Google Chrome bookmark sync on each of their computers, any changes they make to their bookmarks will appear on all synced computers in just a few seconds, according to Idan Avraham and Anton Muhin, Software Engineers at Google.

As with every release, this new beta also comes with many speed improvements. In particular, as web applications become increasingly dynamic, browsers like Google Chrome need to be able to construct and change elements on web pages as fast as possible. The Google Chrome team has improved performance scores on Google Chrome by 30% since the current stable release, as measured by Mozilla's Dromeao DOM Core Tests, and by 400% since Chrome's first stable release.
