Google will soon make it possible to easily access saved data such as passwords, bookmarks, and addresses by signing in with a Google account in the Chrome browser. This innovation will be available for Android and desktop platforms and will allow users to skip the step of manually turning on browser sync.
This innovation, which was introduced on the iOS platform last year, will also be spread to Chrome’s other platforms. With this update, Google aims to provide users with faster and more effortless access to their personal data. However, this feature will not force users; for those who do not prefer to log in to Chrome, there will also be an option to keep their accounts separate from the browser.
Chrome’s new login system aims to provide users with a “personalized browsing experience.” This means users can share tabs across devices and use saved passwords. However, this feature does not automatically connect all of your browsing data to your Google account. For example, if you want to save your browsing history or open tabs to your Google account, you will need to confirm this separately.
New model in Google Chrome that adapts to user habits
Google Chrome Product Manager Claire Charron, in her statement, points out that user habits have changed over time. She states that today, users expect that simply signing in will be enough to access their data quickly across devices. In line with this, Google continues to renew its old synchronization model to better meet users’ expectations.
This change is actually seen as part of Google’s efforts to improve and simplify the user experience. Currently, Chrome users have to manually enable Chrome sync to access their data after signing in to the browser. The new model will skip this step and allow users to access their data by simply signing in. In this way, Chrome becomes more accessible, especially for users with limited technical knowledge or those who want to save time.
While introducing this innovation, Google continues to take important steps to protect users’ data security. Additional approval mechanisms have been introduced for saving personal data, such as browsing history and open tabs, to Google accounts. This keeps users in control and allows them to make more informed decisions about how they manage their data.
Google does not give a clear date for when this new feature will be fully available on Android and desktop Chrome versions, but recommends users follow the update closely. The statements indicate that the update will reach all users soon. With this update, users who sign in with their Google account will be able to seamlessly synchronize their passwords and other saved data between devices.
