How can they call this a beta when there's NO BOOKMARK MANAGER?

I might not know what you exactly mean by a "bookmark manager", but the star to the left of the URL textbox and Ctrl+B give you bookmarks.

The Mac version doesn't have a bookmark manager. You can click the star, and it saves the bookmark (or removes the bookmark). But unlike the Windows version there isn't a dialog/window that shows all your bookmarks and lets you drag/drop/etc.

Ctrl+B (or Command+B on the Mac, I assume) opens up a bar at the top (or at least it does in the Linux version) and you can drag your bookmarks between the bar and the "other bookmarks" folder.

Command+Shift+B, actually.

Yes, but there is still no bookmark manager. Try to create (on OS X) a bookmarks folder in the bookmarks bar. Proceed to add two bookmarks into that folder. Now... How do you edit/delete/rearrange the bookmarks that reside in the folder? I can't figure it out.

Here's what I did (on OS 10.6). 1) Created two bookmark folders in the bookmark bar named "NewFolder", and "OtherFolder" (right click on bar->Add Folder) 2) Added two bookmarks to NewFolder (browse to site, click star, select NewFolder in Folder drop down list) 3) Moved bookmarks from one folder to the other (browse to bookmarked page, click the star, click Edit, change the folder drop down selection, close)

This doesn't allow you to move folders around, and it's annoying that you don't have a way to manage the bookmark of a page without browsing to that page. It's not the full "Bookmark Manager", but you can manage bookmarks.

Evidently you haven't used Chrome on Windows?

Bookmark Bar != Bookmark Manager. Right-click on the Bookmark Bar. See that grayed-out entry for Bookmark Manager? That's not grayed-out on Windows. It should open a tab containing an app that allows you to edit/rearrange your bookmarks.

I cannot even drag bookmarks between folders in the Bookmark Bar. And as for the Bookmark Menu, I can't do anything with that at all. Not even delete bookmarks in it.

Heh, I've been wondering that too. Not that I need it that much, but it'd be nice to maybe be able to delete a bookmark folder. A lot to ask, I know.

Still, bar none my favorite browser on the mac. Love the fact that the dev tools are the latest webkit version. I'm done with memory hogs that are safari and firefox (though I still use firebug every now and again).
