Chrome 19 Released, Will Sync Your Browser Tabs

Google has released generation 19 of its Chrome browser with one major feature addition.

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

As long as you are using Chrome for Android Beta on your phone or tablet, you can seamlessly pick up web browsing where you left off on your desktop. Even the back and forward buttons will work from machine to machine. Tab sync requires users, like other Sync features (such as bookmarks, apps, extensions, history, and themes), to be signed in to a Google account.

Google, however, said that not all Chrome users will be seeing the tab sync immediately. Instead, Google will pushing out tab sync "gradually over the coming weeks."

Download the latest version of Google Chrome here.

    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 :\

    alidanwell what about people like me who have over 100 chrome tabs oppen...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.
