Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/floccusaddon/floccus/issues/700

Can you please provide some info on how the tab sync works?

Let's say I have 2 browser windows with X and Y number of tabs open. Now I open a browser on another machine and sync the tabs. Will it open two browser windows with X and Y number of tabs?
What happens if I open a new tab on the first machine, wlil it be opened on the second (after sync)?

Yes, that's the idea. However, deletions (closing tabs) will not be propagated with a simple merge sync in the case of syncing tabs. Thus it's usually more useful to only sync up or down.

Thanks a bunch for the reply.

However, I'm not entirely sure I understand why deletions wouldn;'r be propagated. With the bookmark sync they are, aren't they? So why not use the same algorithm? Unless I'm missing something...

The problem is that tab IDs aren't as stable as bookmark IDs making it harder to sync them.

I see. Although I'm not quite sure I understand that either. What do you mean my stable? Would the id change, if you re-arranged the tabs. e.g. from left to right: [1] [2] 3] -> [3] [1] [2]

Anyway, I guess we can close this. Or you can leave it around for a bit so that people can find it more easily.

tabs manager supports saving and restoring tab sets as saved windows for disync.

I don't think this is within the scope of this extension for now. If you need to save a session, use "bookmark all tabs" and sync those bookmarks, I'd say. :)
