How to Sync Open Tabs Between Desktop and Laptop | Bushe.co

Google Chrome's native tab-sync feature is buried in menus and frequently lags by hours. To reliably and instantly sync open tabs between a desktop and a laptop, use the export features of the Tab Manager. By clicking "Export Workspace," the extension generates a tiny, encrypted local file (or a string profile). You simply copy that file via a cloud drive to your laptop, click "Import," and the exact workspace unfurls flawlessly, bypassing Google's slow server-side synchronization entirely.
