Google Chrome is by far the most popular web browser on the planet. One of the reasons for its popularity is that it was one of the first browsers out there which allowed users to synchronise their bookmarks, open tabs and history across all their devices. Users can just sign in to their Google account, and access all their data on any device without any of the hassles of saving and transferring their data around.
But one of the problems with this is that the more devices that you sign in, the more public your data becomes. Specifically, you should never sign in to your Google account on a public computer. Also, if you’re giving your device to a friend or a family member, you may unknowingly be giving them access to your data.
