CNET Editors' review
It's not uncommon for people to have multiple computers these days: home computer and work computer, or desktop and laptop. Although the ubiquity of computers is convenient, spreading our computer use over several different machines can make it difficult to keep up with our data. Fortunately, bookmarks are something that you can easily sync across machines or browsers thanks to Xmarks for Chrome. This simple extension keeps your bookmarks consistent across locations, ensuring that you always have access to the sites you need to remember.
Like most Chrome extensions, Xmarks installs easily. The extension then guides you through a set-up wizard, where you will create an Xmarks account if you don't already have one. Xmarks then backs up your bookmarks to the cloud, where they'll wait safely until you need them. To access them elsewhere, simply install the Xmarks add-on on another machine or browser, sign in, and your bookmarks will be synced automatically. Because Xmarks works with Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Internet Explorer, it's easy to standardize your bookmarks across browsers. Users who don't necessarily want all of their bookmarks synced can create profiles that contain specific bookmarks and exclude others. Xmarks even lets users view open tabs remotely--a very cool feature if you left an important page open but can't remember the URL. Overall, we were quite impressed with the range of features that Xmarks offers, and we think it's a fantastic choice for anyone who uses more than one computer.
Xmarks for Chrome installs and uninstalls without issues. We highly recommend this extension to all users.

"Indispensable"
Version: Xmarks for Chrome 0.5.65
Pros
Brings Chrome closer to Firefox functionality
Cons
Unlike Firefox version (and like IE version), doesn't sync passwords
Summary
X-Marks is one of the first extensions available for Chrome Beta. Chrome is significantly faster than Firefox, as Mozilla refuses to address the memory issues that have plagued it from day one. Although Chrome has a way to go before it approaches Firefox's level of function and customization, X-Marks pushes it forward in that direction. It's useful not merely for backup of bookmarks, but for syncing them between Chrome, Firefox and IE (each requiring its own X-Marks add-on) - tremendously useful if you use more than one browser.
One drawback - X-Marks syncs passwords only in the Firefox version, although Chrome, like FF, is capable of saving passwords. LastPass - and RoboForm for IE and Firefox - are available for that, however.
