Set Up Chrome with Your Google Account

Set Up Chrome with Your Google Account

You can save your bookmarks, extensions, apps, theme, and browser preferences to your GoogleAccount so that they are available on any computer you’re using. That way, you can have the same web experience everywhere. When you sign in to Chrome, your Chrome settings on that computer are saved to your Google Account. When you sign in to the same account on another computer, Google Chrome makes your saved settings available on that computer. Any changes you make to your browser settings will be synced to the Google Account you've used to sign in to Chrome. Changes you make on one computer are automatically reflected on the other computers where you're signed in and have enabled sync. To keep your information secure, synced data is encrypted when it travels between your computer and Google’s servers. As an added layer of protection, by default your saved passwords are encrypted on your computer and on Google’s servers using a cryptographic key. You also have the option to encrypt all your synced data. You can remove your synced data from your Google Account at any time,

Remember; do not set up Chrome with your Google Account on a public or untrusted computer. When you set up Chrome with your Google Account, a copy of your data is stored on the computer you're using and can be accessed by other users on the same computer. To remove your data, delete the user you are signed in as.
