+longgonebn Subscriber² Posted December 21, 2013 Subscriber² Share Posted December 21, 2013 I am about to do a fresh install and want to make sure I can sign back in, and have everything the same for Chrome. If I go to my Dashboard, it's showing that I have 40 Extension (Google Dashboard, the website for all your data). If I go to my extensions and count, there are 46 extension. In the past I have had issues, where extensions were missing on fresh install etc.... What's going on? How do I make sure all is synced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obi-Wan Kenobi Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 All I ever do is sign into chrome after a clean install and all my bookmarks and extensions automagically load up for me, and I've never had any trouble with it. You just have to make sure you check the boxes for what you want synced to google. (Extensions, favorites, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+longgonebn Subscriber² Posted December 21, 2013 Author Subscriber² Share Posted December 21, 2013 I have Everything, synced. Yet, they show the wrong amount of extensions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Zlip792 MVC Posted December 21, 2013 MVC Share Posted December 21, 2013 I have Everything, synced. Yet, they show the wrong amount of extensions. Userscripts and third party stuff which is added by software usually does not get synced. So it might be due to this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+longgonebn Subscriber² Posted December 21, 2013 Author Subscriber² Share Posted December 21, 2013 Those would not be under Extensions. I can count my extension, not scripts under one extension. It's wrong. I will just have to record what I use, see what happens when I install it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Norris Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Could always just make a copy of Chrome's AppData directory too (if it's feasible), everything should be ready for you on the new install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+longgonebn Subscriber² Posted December 21, 2013 Author Subscriber² Share Posted December 21, 2013 Good idea, might do that :) Could always just make a copy of Chrome's AppData directory too (if it's feasible), everything should be ready for you on the new machine.

I will just have to record what I use, see what happens when I install it. If I install Development build of Adblock Plus from not Chrome Web Store, it does not get synced. So I have to always install it. I am bleeding edge Chromium tester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+longgonebn Subscriber² Posted December 21, 2013 Author Subscriber² Share Posted December 21, 2013 I am pretty sure all my extensions are from the Chrome Store, but I guess I will find out when I do the install. Unless I actually feel like backing up app-data. If I install Development build of Adblock Plus from not Chrome Web Store, it does not get synced. So I have to always install it.
