This will give you same experience on any other computer as it was in your home.<\/p>\n<p>You can keep you browser preferences, bookmarks and browser theme synchronized on multiple computers using your Google Accounts. For this to happen you need to enable sync on a computer on your Google Chrome settings from one computer and when you access another computer by signing into your Google Accounts, Google Chrome settings are merged and copied to the computer on which you are presently working.<\/p>\n<p>For Sync to be enabled you need to follow this steps on Google Chrome settings.<\/p>\n<p>1. Open Google Chrome and click on <strong>Tools<\/strong> menu.<br \/>\n2. Select <strong>Set up Sync<\/strong><br \/>\n3.
