I really wish folks had, back in the day, gone in on writing their own chrome sync services. I don't know what the state of the world is today, but for a long time it was a not-that-wild set of extensions atop XMPP. https://github.com/valurhrafn/chrome-sync-server
I don't know what Chrome does today. Writing extensions to manage all this state seems fine, sensible. But I wish we really could go deep & really supplant the actual cloud system the browsers use, as sweet as it is that we can strap on this other sync mechanism thanks to extensions.
