"Hmm.. Chrome 19 is out??"

::Checks Chrome version on my PC::

This happened to me, synced my tabs at work with the ones at home. it is a stupid feature and they should have asked before doing it, like a simple popup "do you want to screw up your tabs? Yes or No"

And you can't disable the sync either, must have at least one this synced :\

What the hell do you need 100 tabs open for? You sound disorganized or maybe you spend too much time on the net. Even if it is job related it sounds ridiculous. Probably just porn websites.

im lazy. most of it is things i need to read, and yea, i wake up and im on the net, and i walk around when i get sick of sitting, but basically all i do is sit on the internet and read.

and only about 1/10 of the tabs are porn at any given time. i use ff for that more than chrome.

"The software now integrates tab sync, which syncs open taps and your browsing history in real time."

No it doesn't, this will be "rolled out in the coming weeks".

Kind of like the facility in opera? (Opera link)

 

[zak_mckraken]

That's a feature I'll enjoy!

I have 10-12 tabs open for work. anywhere from 8-20 tabs of personal stuff. And in firefox, I have a TabGroup for the 2 separate groups, and TabTreePlus (or whatever)...nice and organized. if i wanted additional tabs of tabs, i'd be able ot do it.

Since Google was stupid and got rid of vertical tabs and you can't have an addon replace the functionality, I stopped using Chrome.

 

[freggo]

And version will include a sync to tabs you will likely open in the future.
Don't laugh... if they try to predict searches, why not websites and tabs.

And naturally it will be patented and rake in Millions in license fees !

I don't have 100 tabs open (right now at least), but I do have over 30 Tom's hardware tabs open, all different articles or forum threads. I often break fifty. When I'm using Pale Moon (performance optimized Firefox), I can go well over 100 tabs pretty often.

Doesn't Firefox's sync only sync bookmarks and history, not active tabs?

Firefox 12 syncs add-ons, bookmarks, passwords, preferences, history and tabs. Add-ons can opt-in to sync their data as well (e.g. Adblock Plus syncs the custom filters this way).

Alright then. At least Google isn't pretending to be the first to do something like this or anything like that.
