How To Sync Google Chrome Across All Your Devices

Google Chrome undeninably holds the title of the most popular browser, and houses some impressive features like a built-in Password Manager, the option to organize your tabs by grouping them when you're juggling multiple tasks, and Chrome profiles. Other than its wide list of features that ensure to make your browsing journey as smooth as possible, the browser also has a user-friendly interface, which makes it quite simple to navigate. If you use Google services like Gmail, Drive, Documents, Sheets, and more, using Google Chrome as your default browser is probably the smartest decision you could make. 

One of the best aspects of using Google Chrome is the ability to start browsing on one device and continue on another. All your passwords, bookmarks, open tabs, reading lists, and more can sync across all your devices, provided that you have enabled this feature and are using the same Google Account on all your devices. With that said, here's how you can sync Google Chrome across all your devices.

1. Launch Google Chrome.
