Quick tip - Synchronize Chrome Tabs & Bookmarks Across devices (android <-> windows)

As things changes all the time, especially at google, i found recently how to synchronize chrome between my computer and android phone.

First, you must login with a user in both devices.

In Android you must have checked in

Accounts -> Google -> user -> Sync Chrome (that's to have it to sync all the time)

In computer you just need to sign in in chrome with the same user and yuo're ready to use them.

For bookmarks:

In android:

Chrome -> hamburger menu or 3 vertical dots -> Bookmarks -> and here you will have these options:

1. Mobile bookmarks (from mobile)
2. Bookmarks bar (from computer)
3. Other bookmarks (from computer)

And below a list with folders (in case you already have) from all devices.

In windows
Go to the three dots in the right side of chrome

-> Bookmarks -> Bookmarks manager

and here you will find all mobile and desktop bookmarks, usually written as:

1. Bookmarks bar (desktop)
2. Other bookmarks (dekstop)
3. Mobile bookmarks (mobile)

For TABS and history:

In android:

RECENT TABS

Chrome -> hamburger menu or 3 vertical dots -> Recent tabs -> and 2 options:

1. Recently closed (mobile)
2. Computer tabs

Here, you will see current opened tabs and option for history in both places.

HISTORY

Chrome -> hamburger menu or 3 vertical dots -> History -> and here with option to clear browsing data and then showing daily history (from what i see it shows only mobile history)

In windows

Here is quicker.

Pressing CTRL + H or go to settings in the right and click History (you will have a preview for all devices).

Will be present on the left side 3 options (or more for more devices):

1. Chrome history (desktop)
2. Tabs from other devices (from other devices)
3. Clear browsing data

SHORTCUTS:

• Bookmarks bar (show it or not): CTRL + SHIFT + B
• Bookmark current page: CTRL + D
• Bookmark open pages (from current window): CTRL + SHIFT + D
• Bookmark manager (tab): CTRL + SHIFT + O

I usually check on mobile when not on home and want to read later some articles, posts...
I bookmark what is important and for steemit i left tabs open and read them at home if there is no time to read them all on phone.

Hope it help others too.
