@candrapersada Currently you'll have to manually pull upon opening the browser and set the sync strategy to push.

I could add an option to only sync on browser start. Then you could have one account that regularly pushes and one that pulls once on startup.

and i want to ask if the pull and push time can be adjusted so that there is no problem like tabs I have recently closed reappear through the sync quite often

If you're talking about the sync frequency, you can definitely adjust that.

The time between two synchronizations runs in a few minutes. The default is 15 minutes. when the browser starts sync runs itself before 15 minutes
for example when I start the browser after 1 day close the sync starts immediately before 15 minutes why this happens?

This happens because the 15 minutes are calculated as the difference between current time and last sync time. If you haven't had the browser open for more than a day, that's more than 15min.

Fixed by aca81a5065 -- now it will sync automatically within 7s of opening the browser.

Hey, I've been dealing with more pressing issues so far and was also not sure how to proceed as the requirement to be able to pull sync on browser start and push sync the rest of the time is radically different from the way bookmark sync is handled

I think the underlying problem behind your request is that merge sync doesn't work well with tabs, which you would want to use all the time, be it at browser start or during a browsing session. I've recently drastically improved merge sync for tabs, which should hopefully obviate the need for your intricate "strategy switching" request. I'll let you know once the release is published. :)
