But Google has also introduced a few new features to make the user experience more pleasurable, including password sync and a revamped options menu. Let's take a closer look:

Chrome could your apps, bookmarks, preferences and themes across multiple computers, but until now has lacked a way to sync passwords. In the latest beta, you can access password sync under the "Personal Stuff" section of the options menu. A Google account--along with your username and password--is required for syncing, but you can also add an extra layer of encryption with a custom sync passphrase.

One thing that was kind of confusing: After I enabled sync on my second computer and punched in my user name and password, Chrome asked me what data I would like to sync between computers, even though I had just entered that information after setting up sync on my first computer.
