> A big downside is that your Chrome settings are basically tied to a specific PC, so forget about moving them to a new PC unless you sign in and sync to Google.

Even then. I'm not sure why extension config-data isn't transparently replicated between hosts, but it's a really noticeable problem when you have an extension installed that's as complex as XKit or RES. Even for uBlock, you have to copy-and-paste your whitelist rules between hosts, rather than having them just follow you around.




Chrome allows extensions to have automatically synchronized settings. Blame the extension if it doesn't use the feature.
