In the most recent nightly builds, the pieces of the puzzle are starting to come together. Looking through the Chrome command line switches, I noticed the following lines:
// Enable syncing bookmarks to a Google Account. const wchar_t kEnableSync[] = L"enable-sync";
Like any good dev channel tester would, I immediately appended the switch to my Chrome 4.0.202.0 shortcut and launched the browser again. With sync enabled, there is a new entry in the wrench menu as well as on the Personal Stuff tab of the options screen.
Don’t get too excited when you press the buttons. Like Marvin the Martian learned after Bugs stole his Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator there won’t be any Earth-shattering kaboom. For now, we can look. We’ll have to wait for Google to flip the switch to see syncing in action.
Check the gallery after the break for screenshots, including early designs for the login and merge/sync pages!
