Syncing Open Tabs


You can disconnect your Google account from Chrome and stop
syncing with your other devices at any time. Disconnecting your
Google account won’t wipe the data stored on your computer or
in your Google account. However, any future changes you make
on your computer will not be reflected on other computers or
devices that you have signed in to Chrome on.


Step 1
❱ Before you can
sync open tabs
between devices,
you will need to
make sure that the
setting is enabled
on both devices.
Sign in to Chrome
using the same
Google account
on the devices you
want to sync.

Step 4
❱ Open a new tab on your computer by clicking the New Tab
button or Ctrl+T. In the lower right corner of the screen, click Other
devices and click the tab you want to open on the current device.

Step 5
❱ Open tabs are grouped together by devices. You can hide a
specific one by disabling tab syncing on that particular device. To
temporarily hide a device, right-click its name and select Hide.

Step 2
❱ Check your sync
settings on each
device. Open the
Chrome Menu >
Settings, click the
icon to the right of
the Sync opinion
and then check
Open Tabs.


Step 3
❱ On Chrome for Android,
tap the Menu button
> Settings > Sign in to
Chrome. Once signed in,
tap Sync and make sure
the Open tabs checkbox
is selected. You should
now be ready to go.
