Chrome sync warning, potential disaster for chrome users
11 years ago
Just encountered a potentially disastrous situation with google chrome, And thought I should warn everyone
I noticed today the web searches I did on my laptop suddenly appeared in my desktops browsing history, Upon checking through some settings I discovered google chrome automatically syncs browser history, bookmarks, extensions, login, and even open tabs across every device you log into your google account from. Meaning it is pure dumb luck I happen to use firefox at work, because if I used chrome there, all my porn tabs would have popped up on my work computer in front of everyone thus ruining my life.
I disabled the auto syncing But I'm mad as hell this dangerous feature was stuck in there like that and turned on by default.
