Google Browser Sync was a Mozilla Firefox extension released as freeware from Google . It debuted in Google Labs on June 8, 2006, and in June 2008, was discontinued. ^[1] It allowed users of Mozilla Firefox up to versions 2.x to synchronize their web browser settings across multiple computers via the Internet . ^[2]

Google Browser Sync required a Google account, in which the user's cookies , saved passwords , bookmarks , browsing history, tabs , and open windows could be stored. The data was optionally encrypted using an alphanumerical PIN , which theoretically prevented even Google from reading the data. Passwords and cookies were always encrypted and could only be accessed by the user. ^[3]

Google Browser Sync technology was integrated into Google Chrome .
