How to surf the web comfortably different devices? So that found on one of the devices (for example, on PC) the information was not lost, and you could return to it at a convenient time, but using a different device (another PC, laptop, smartphone, etc.) . To ensure that we users do not lose valuable information found on the Internet, Microsoft company with previous update Fall Creators Update added a feature to Windows 10 Continue on PC.

This is the ability to transfer active browser tabs to iOS- And Android devices on Wednesday PC and laptops with installed "Ten". True, the reverse mechanism within this Microsoft features didn't provide for it. But the creators of popular cross-platform browsers have long implemented functionality in their products to solve this problem. When included in such web-Browsers for data synchronization between different devices, we don’t need to intentionally save something, transfer something somewhere, and generally take care of anything. Active tabs from all authorized devices will be displayed on any of them. Let's see how it all works in the top three web-observers – , and Opera .

1. Google Chrome

The data synchronization function is present on board the most popular web-browser and allows you to automatically transfer bookmarks, logins, passwords, history and other data, including active tabs of the current session, to different desktop and mobile devices. And you can also synchronize themes and built-in extensions between different desktops. To use this feature you need Google account – a universal profile used for authorization on YouTube, V Google Play and other services Google. When installing it offers to log in using Google-account. If this was not done immediately after installation web-browser, you can later authorize, for example, in the settings section.

Active tabs from different devices are displayed in the history section.

Here we will see everything synchronized with the account PC, laptops and mobile devices with their active tab sessions.

If Google-the account was not connected during installation on tablets and smartphones, this can be done in the settings of the mobile version of the browser.

To view sessions of active tabs on other devices, you need to select from the menu.

Then open the list of the required device.

2. Mozilla Firefox

On board another popular web- the browser also has a developed synchronization system, which is in no way inferior to that implemented in . To use it you need Firefox account . You are also offered to create or connect one immediately after installing the browser, and this can also be done at any time later in the settings or on the sidebar of cloud tabs.

Here, on the side panel, when selecting cloud tabs, we will continue to track all session tabs in installed on other computers, tablets and smartphones.

On tablets and smartphones, you can enable the synchronization function in the mobile version section web-observer. Click here.

Later in the same section we will observe all computers and gadgets synchronized with the account, as well as their active tabs.

3.Opera

Third cross-platform web-browser with the ability to automatically transfer data – Opera. It also has a synchronization function that is inferior to that on board And except for the lack of support for transferring themes and extensions between desktop versions of the browser. However, if we talk specifically about synchronizing sessions of tabs opened on other devices, then this function fully works only in the desktop version of the browser. WITH mobile version It’s not all that simple, but there is a way out. But first about PC and laptops. We enable the synchronization service in the browser menu.

Create an account Opera or log in if you already have one.

We will monitor sessions of active Opera tabs on other computers and mobile devices in a special section.

The same feature is present in another implementation when you click a special button on the toolbar web-observer.

What about mobile devices? To continue watching web-pages on a tablet or smartphone, on a computer we add these pages to the express panel.

Then in mobile Opera we go to the synchronized data section.

And we'll see express panels- the same ones visual bookmarks browser, which are displayed on its home page - all equipment connected to the account.

True, we’ll only see express panels, but not sessions of active tabs. At this moment mobile Opera a little inferior to the same mobile ones And .

Have you ever written down Internet links in a notepad so you don't forget? My friends, for example, still do this. They also send links from their work computer to their home computer via email so that they can visit the necessary websites from home. It seems to me that the time has come to quit such activities, because modern browsers make it quite possible to do without it.

Perhaps you already guessed that this article will talk about synchronizing bookmarks between browsers on different devices - several computers, tablets, smartphones, regardless of operating system, which is installed on them. Thanks to this function, all your saved bookmarks will be available from any place where you launch the browser with synchronization enabled, and in addition, you don’t have to worry about reinstalling the operating system and browser - all bookmarks will be restored when synchronizing with the server. How to turn it on? Let's look at an example Opera browsers and Yandex.Browser.

Finding the sync button in Opera 28.0.x.x is not at all easy. To be honest, you can’t find it at all without outside help, because the synchronization function in at the moment is in an experimental stage, although it works quite stably. In order to activate this function, you need to enter opera://flags/#synch in the address bar of your browser to load a page with a list of experimental functions, which will open exactly at the settings item we need.

All that remains is to turn it on.

After these steps, restart Opera and, when loading, you will find a new button located in the upper right corner of the browser window.

If the synchronization button is available by default in your browser version, feel free to skip the steps described in the paragraph above.

When you click the button, a menu will appear asking you to create an account.

click on the create entry button and go to the next menu,

in which you need to enter your email address and password account, as well as a verification word, and then confirm your desire to create an account.
The next menu will notify you that synchronization is enabled,

however, do not forget to confirm your registration by checking email and follow the link provided in the letter sent to you:

Everything is ready. Now your bookmarks are automatically uploaded to a secure server. To access them from another computer or mobile device, just log in to the account you created with the password you chose:

After a few seconds, you will notice that all your bookmarks saved from another computer have successfully migrated to the new browser. Which is exactly what you and I were trying to achieve.

Enabling synchronization in Yandex.Browser

Yandex.Browser provides no less convenient functionality, and turning it on is no more difficult than in Opera.

In the upper right corner, find the browser settings button and click it, and in the menu that opens, select “Synchronization”:

The browser will open a window asking you to enter your Yandex account information - enter it.

If, by chance, you still do not have an account in Yandex, follow the link “Create an account” and, after registering in the system, use the credentials you received.

For example, I still don’t risk trusting the browser to store my passwords and history, however, the choice is yours.

After closing the window, you can verify that synchronization is enabled by looking at the line in the lower right corner of the browser display:

After setting the above settings, you can be sure that all your information is now downloaded and stored on the Yandex server, and will be transferred to any device where Yandex.Browser is running with synchronization enabled under your account. Enjoy it for your health!

Modern browsers have a wonderful ability to synchronize user settings With remote server. In particular, the Yandex browser, when you use the synchronization function, will also save your settings on its server.

What is this for? Imagine that you spent a long time customizing your favorite browser “for yourself” - installing a bunch of add-ons you need, saving necessary and interesting bookmarks for sites, saving passwords for sites you frequently use in the browser, etc. And then suddenly your computer breaks down... Agree, it’s quite a shame to lose the results of your work. But with the synchronization function enabled, you can easily restore the working state of Yandex Browser. In addition, you can enable synchronization of settings on any other computer (at work or with friends) for convenient work.

Enable synchronization

Let's go to "Yandex Browser Settings" in the upper right corner, select the item "Synchronization". A window will appear for entering the login and password for your Yandex account with which you want to synchronize.

Next, all settings changes, information about added bookmarks, passwords, installed extensions will be saved on Yandex servers. To restore your settings on a “clean” browser you will need to enable synchronization again. Within a few minutes, all settings will be downloaded from your Yandex account. You'll just have to wait a little.

Setting up synchronization

Let's go to "Yandex Browser Settings" - "Settings"- in the block "Synchronization" indicate what data you want to synchronize.

How safe is it to use synchronization?

All settings are sent to Yandex servers in encrypted form. And on the servers, no one except you can gain access to this information (of course, unless your account is purposefully hacked). But using synchronization on someone else’s computer or on a work computer that an unauthorized person may have access to is unsafe, if only because if you save passwords in the browser, then an unauthorized person can easily find out these passwords.

That's why, if you still need to enable synchronization on a device other than yours, then I recommend doing the following. First you need to go to "Yandex Browser Settings" - "Settings" and further in the block "Users" need to press a button "Add profile". For a new profile, you will need to give it a name and will also be asked to select an image.

After creating a new profile, a new browser window will open using the created profile. While in your profile, you need to go back to the “Yandex Browser Settings” and enable synchronization by entering your username and password. In a few minutes, all your settings will be loaded into the profile you are using.

After finishing work on someone else's device you will just need to delete the profile you created for yourself from Yandex Browser in its settings.

What is browser synchronization and why is it needed?

It's no secret that for easy navigation on the Internet, we all strive to configure browsers with synchronization as convenient as possible for ourselves. At a minimum, every person who actively uses the Internet uses browser bookmarks to quickly go to the desired site.

But, unfortunately, no one is immune from loss of your data, for example, as a result virus attack. If you do not take care of saving all the bookmarks and other settings of your browser, then after treating your computer and reinstalling the operating system, you will have to configure everything from scratch. This is at least unpleasant and inconvenient, not to mention the fact that it greatly slows down the work process.

Of course it is possible to do backup data, saving, say, your browser bookmark files to external media or file hosting. But this is also not very convenient, since you will need to download files, open browser subfolders, copy information there and repeat this more than once. This method of solving the problem is already outdated.

Thanks to browser synchronization important settings of your Google Chrome, Opera, Mazila browser are instantly remembered. You can then restore them or send them to another browser with just a couple of clicks, thus eliminating the risk of loss convenient settings or immediately copying them to another device.

So, syncing with anything for the browser is a way to quickly transfer all or part of its settings to another place, so that either, if necessary, they can be immediately restored in case of loss, or immediately copied to another computer or smartphone without any difficulties. The most popular browsers with synchronization are Google Chrome and Yandex Browser (follow the links to download).

Synchronizing the browser with Yandex servers

One of the most popular now is synchronizing the browser with a special Yandex server. The good thing about it is that almost all the necessary settings are saved, such as passwords, extensions, bookmarks, history, modules and applications. Even autofill forms will be remembered!

Synchronizing the browser with Yandex servers is absolutely safe - all transmission is carried out using a secure channel, passwords will be transmitted exclusively in encrypted form. That is, if you trust your passwords in principle to Yandex servers (you have email there, etc.), then you can also trust the synchronized data without fear.

In addition, on Yandex you can change synchronization or edit the list of synchronized settings at any time.

Synchronizing your smartphone and computer

You can also synchronize browsers with each other. For example, the proprietary Dolphin browser for smartphones, not the most popular yet, but still quite good, acquires new functions with each version. The latter added the ability to synchronize bookmarks with its “big brother” - the browser Google Chrome.

First you will need to install the extension for Chrome - Dolphin Connect.

When you see this application in the extensions panel, click on it and select the connection method with using Google account. Now go to Dolphin on your smartphone and click on the cloud. An account selection window will appear - select a Google account. That's it - the bookmarks are synchronized.

Many modern browsers offer their users to enable synchronization. This is a very convenient tool that helps you save your browser data and then access it from any other device where the same browser is installed. This feature works using cloud technologies, reliably protected from any threats.

Yandex.Browser, which works on all popular platforms (Windows, Android, Linux, Mac, iOS), was no exception and added synchronization to the list of its functions. To use it, you need to install it on other devices and enable the corresponding feature in the settings.

Step 1: Create an account to sync

If you don't have your account yet, it won't take long to create one.

Step 2: Enable Sync

After registration, you will again find yourself on the page to enable synchronization. The login will already be set, you just have to enter the password specified during registration. After entering, click on the button " Enable Sync»:

The service will offer to install Yandex.Disk, the advantages of which are written in the window itself. Select " Close window" or " Install Disk» at your own discretion.

Step 3: Set up synchronization

After successfully enabling the function in "Menu" a notification should be displayed "Just synchronized", as well as details of the process itself.

By default, everything is synchronized, and to exclude some items, click "Set up synchronization".

In the block "What to synchronize" Uncheck the boxes that you want to keep only on this computer.

You can also use one of two links at any time:

• "Disable synchronization" suspends its operation until you repeat the activation procedure again ( Step 2).
• "Delete synced data" erases what was placed in the Yandex cloud service. This is necessary, for example, when you change the conditions of the list of synchronized data (for example, disable synchronization "Bookmarks").

View synced tabs

Many users are specifically interested in synchronizing tabs between their devices. If they were turned on during the previous setup, this does not mean that all open tabs on one device will automatically open on the other. To view them, you will need to go to special sections of your desktop or mobile browser.

View tabs on your computer

In Yandex Browser for a computer, access to viewing tabs is not implemented in the most convenient way.

View tabs on a mobile device

Of course, there is also reverse synchronization in the form of viewing tabs open on synchronized devices via a smartphone or tablet. In our case, it will be an Android smartphone.

Using synchronization from Yandex, you can easily reinstall the browser in case of problems, knowing that none of your data will be lost. You will also have access to synchronized information from any device with Yandex.Browser and the Internet.
