This has provided me a consistent environment whether I am at my home computer, on my Chromebook or at work.
Yeah....awesome feature. I have no idea how I activated it last week. I was at home getting ready to do some research for a project I was working on. I went to my trusty "search" favorites to look up some info on a seldom visited site and the bookmark was gone......no, ALL my bookmarks were gone. They had been replaced by my "favorites" from work. 15 years of favorites, gone. Replaced by COMPLETELY DIFFERENT favorites based on my need at work. Yay.....I was SO happy....NOT.
So, thanks for the article. It showed me how to turn off this amazingly destructive feature.

'XMarks' will sync you across not only all of your computers, but also ALL of YOUR BROWSERS! (Firefox, Chrom(ium), IE & Safari). Couple this with 'Last-Pass' (pass word solution) which is 'mother company' of XMarks and you're ready to work anywhere, including on Mac's & Linux. (Your mileage may vary.....)
I was an XMarks user, and it seemed like the cat's pajamas, but I eventually lost confidence in it as it became slower and more erratic. Also, you have to pay for the mobile versions. I switched to Firefox sync, which works seamlessly on my two desktops, two laptops, and two mobile devices. Firefox sync seems to work just like Chrome sync as described in this article.
I assume Chrome sync means you are always signed in to Google, on all devices. I always sign out of Gmail/Google when I'm not using them, because I just feel they don't need to know 100% of my web activity.
