Step-by-Step: How to Organize your Google Browsers
Sharing is caring!
When I started to work online, there comes a time that I had two clients one at a time. They have different google access, they have different website app need to open at the same time but they need to be open in different browsers.
Two clients plus other personal accounts and access, get me confused. Of course, I want to separate some of my files, links I visited and website apps I open when my browser startup. And most importantly, I want to bookmarks some important links for the client I work on without needing to bookmark them when I recover my desktop. I mean I need to recover them as well when I need to reformat my desktop.
That gives me the idea of organizing my folders, my files and the website apps that I open just using the Google Browser. Of course, they are not developed without a purpose, and I am glad I am able to discover them.

Connecting your Google Chrome Browser to your Google Account
The advantage of turning on the “Sync” is to save your info and activities in that Google Account. When you sync your Google Account, you will automatically sign-in to all your Google services you visited including YouTube, Gmail and Search. You can also see and update your info across all your devices, and the best reason why sync-in is good, is when you change devices, either you lose your device or get a new device, you will be able to retrieve all your bookmarks, history, passwords and other settings.
ASENSO TIP 101:
Only turn-on Google Chrome “sync-in” with devices you own. If you’re using a public computer or other devices, use guest mode instead. This is to protect your account and access.
