Keeps the same tabs on all your machines. Tab changes are applied in real time on all of your devices.
Real-Time Tab Sync Extension
You can toggle automatic synchronization on and off from the extension's icon.
Note:
* You need to enable synchronization in the Chrome settings.
* The extension does not work on Chromium since the Chrome Sync API does no longer work there.
* The positions of windows and tabs are not preserved by design.
* Tab grouping is not yet supported.
* It's implied that you want to keep your tabs across sessions (otherwise ending a session would close the tabs everywhere)
* New tabs (chrome://newtab) and developer tools (chrome://developer-tools/*) are unaffected by the extension to benefit the workflow.
* Synchronization occurs only when all tabs have completed loading
* The extension works in unison with Chrome \"On startup\" settings :
- If you choose \"Open a new tab\" - it will start with a new tab , and sync the tabs from other computers/previous session in the background .
- If you choose \"Continue where I left off\" or a set of pages it will merge them with the sync tabs
Known issues :
- Newly closed tabs may be reopened due to syncing latency.
- When a user starts Chrome in one machine and restores its tabs - these tabs may be duplicated in other machines.
- When a user toggles between syncAll and syncPinned - tabs may be duplicated or removed in machines.
For developers that want to check out the code - yes , it's open source, and you can check it out at GitHub : https://github.com/petko10/real-time-tab-sync
Great thanks to those who already contributed:
- Richard Fang for his fixes of long standing issues and overall stability improvements
- Chris de Claverie for adding the \"Sync pinned/all tabs\" along with a design touch up of the extension popup and other refactoring and debugging work
