Through Google Chrome you can sync your browser settings and bookmarks across multiple computers, such as your home and work computers. First, sign into your Google Account. To enable sync, click on the wrench icon next to your address bar. Then select "Options" Now click "Set Up Sync..." Enter your Google Account information. And choose what data you'd like to sync. Click "OK" and you're ready. When you begin using a different computer, all you have to do is sign into your Google Account and Chrome will copy the settings and data you've synced, giving you the same browsing experience across multiple computers.
