No idea, haven't seen what you're working on, there's no repos in that org you linked in your previous comment! :)īut we are talking about Chromium, so either way the thing needs to be implemented from scratch. However, after navigating the initial setup (and following mess), and the problem-filled days after that, I won't be likely to try it the difference between this and what I'm working on? This doesn't really have anything to do with Chromium, but it's worth thinking about when recommending third-party services in order to synchronize files across two or more systems.Īpart from that, I suppose the solution works as a temporary bandaid.
File versioning: Another problem occurs after some usage: if the sync service doesn't start itself reliably, then point 2 happens repeatedly.After it happens, the user is forced to reconfigure their settings - there is no failsafe to easily revert changes. This is by far the largest issue: there is no built-in method to prevent the corruption from happening, and it can happen very easily. File sync failure/corruption: If Chromium is opened and incoming changes are made, then after restarting the app and visiting the settings page you will be told settings have been corrupted, and that they have been reset to default.There is no way to manually adjust sync intervals in order to reduce bandwidth usage (not that I would anyways - with the frequency of changes that are made, syncing on any reasonable interval of time (>1min) isn't very useful due to the large amount of changes made) Paired with an unstable or slow network (like my school's, for example) - this quickly becomes tiresome.
Chrome ungoogled update#
With that in mind, I'd like to open a discussion on the implications of implementing this feature specifically, for settings, extensions and history.
Chrome ungoogled install#
In my case, I typically use three computers - one laptop, one desktop, and (occasionally) public machines (library, school lab, etc) - having to re-configure chrome after an install or on adding a new user profile is a hassle, and maintaining settings, extensions, and bookmarks (foregoing passwords and history) is very time-consuming. I would have opened a feature request, but I'm not exactly sure what kind of solution to offer in addition, owing to the lack of relevant issues/feature requests, it seems more like a personal use-case problem. Unfortunately, since the goal of ungoogled-chromium is to remove all instances of Google in the browser, this means that synchronization no longer functions. In addition with user profiles, this feature is what makes Chrome indispensable: being able to separately manage profiles (and the related extensions, browser settings, etc.) without hassle makes my life a lot easier. Currently, one of the features that I use Chrome for is the cross-platform sync of browser-related items, such as extensions, settings, passwords, etc.
