Google's new bookmarking service, previously called stars, has gone live: Google Stars, the long-rumored bookmarking service from Google, has now publicly launched, but with little fanfare. That Google was working to update its bookmarking service has been known for some time. In May, a developer who had been digging into the service leaked a copy of the "Google Stars" extension, as it was called at the time, while it was still being tested. And now, it seems Google has quietly launched the Stars interface for the "Chrome Bookmark Manager" extension on the Chrome Web store.

The Next Web was among the first to spot the release yesterday, noting that the new extension will completely replace Chrome's old bookmarks interface. (Tech Crunch)
