Google has made yet another new addition to its Labs website: Google Browser Sync, an extension for Firefox that allows users to synchronize browser settings across multiple machines. The extension works by storing bookmarks, history, cookies, passwords, and even browsing sessions on Google's servers and keeping the information synchronized across a user's different computers. In this FAQ, Google claims encrypted data is "nearly impossible to interpret without the PIN," and that "not even Google ... will be able to read your data."

Security concerns aside, the extension still isn't entirely polished yet. Synchronization occurs when the browser starts, and Google says Firefox's startup time is increased as a result. Users are told to "please bear with us as we [Google] work to decrease this delay." Nonetheless, Google Browser Sync does promise to give a helping hand to users trying to keep track of their data across multiple PCs.
