Google has announced that it is cutting off access to the Sync and “other Google Exclusive” APIs from all builds except Google Chrome.
I am thinking about managing the sync using dedicated syncing tools.
Features
In chrome://settings/syncSetup/advanced I see a list of synced features.
Most of these I’ve found inside ~/.config/chromium/Default/ , but some I’m not sure about.
- Apps
- Bookmarks
- Extensions
- History
- Settings
- Theme
- Open Tabs
- Passwords
- Addresses, phone numbers, and more
- Payment methods and addresses using Google Pay
I’m especially wondering about:
- “Settings”: What kind of settings are there, and where are they stored?
- “Extensions”: I see
Extensions/,Extension Rules/,Extension State/. What is the difference? Do I want to sync all of these?
