Change storage from local to sync

Open allen505 opened this issue 4 years ago • 0 comments

Change the default storage location from local to sync. Some key points to consider:

  • Setting up IDs for in browser_specific_settings, especially for Chrome and other Chromium based browsers
  • Sync size(100KB) is lesser that local(5MB). Exception handler for out of storage must be in place, warning the user. A fallback to local should be done.
  • Research needs to be done to see how many tabs need to be saved before the storage fails, and if it is feasible.
  • If the browser is not signed in or user wishes to opt out of sync, it should fall back to local
  • Syncing when there is no connection
  • Duplication of saves on local storage and sync storage must be avoided
