For example, Chrome on the desktop syncs with Chrome on your phone, etc. But what about syncing between different browsers? That\u2019s a little harder to do, but it\u2019s not impossible.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">App<\/a>le Safari, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Microsoft Edge all support syncing tabs across devices in their own way. However, that\u2019s not helpful if you use Firefox at work and Chrome at home. They can\u2019t talk to each other.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>How to Sync Microsoft Edge Tabs Across Devices<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cTab Session Manager\u201d is an <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/sienori\/Tab-Session-Manager\">open-source extension<\/a> that works with Chrome, Edge, and Firefox. It allows you to sync open tabs and windows between these different browsers. We\u2019ll show you how it works.<\/p>\n<p>First, you\u2019ll need to download the extension for <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/chrome.google.com\/webstore\/detail\/tab-session-manager\/iaiomicjabeggjcfkbimgmglanimpnae\/\">Chrome<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/microsoftedge.microsoft.com\/addons\/detail\/tab-session-manager\/jkjjclfiflhpjangefhgfjhgfbhajadk\">Edge<\/a>, or <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/addons.mozilla.org\/en-US\/firefox\/addon\/tab-session-manager\/\">Firefox<\/a>. Install it on all the browsers you want to sync together. The setup process is going to be the same on every browser.<\/p>\n<p>Once the Tab Session Manager has been installed, open it from the extensions menu in your browser.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-712947\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2021-02-08_15-02-01.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"open the extension\" width=\"543\" height=\"171\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0Tab Session Manager window will open. Click the gear icon to begin setting it up.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignnone wp-image-712959 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2021-02-08_15-03-06.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"click the gear icon to open settings\" width=\"649\" height=\"190\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a lot happening on the Settings page, but we\u2019re not going to be messing with all of it. First, give the device a name and check the \u201cSave Device Name to Session\u201d box. This will help identify where the tabs are from.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-712949\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2021-02-08_15-08-06.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"give the device a name\" width=\"651\" height=\"216\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Next, make sure that \u201cSave the Session Regularly\u201d is checked. You can adjust how frequently you want the tabs to be synced and how many sessions will be stored at a time.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-712950\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2021-02-08_15-09-23.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"sync frequency settings\" width=\"651\" height=\"224\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>You can also set it so that the tabs are synced when you close a window or exit the browser. How much you have things synced is up to you.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-712960\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2021-02-08_15-11-04-e1612818173871.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"sync when windows close and browser exits\" width=\"650\" height=\"311\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The key ingredient to making this work between different browsers is cloud sync. By signing in with your Google account, you allow sessions to be backed up to your Google Drive and made available on other browsers.<\/p>\n<p>Click \u201cSign in with Google\u201d to proceed.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-712951\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2021-02-08_15-13-57.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"sign in with google\" width=\"650\" height=\"192\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>A message will inform you that Tab Session Manager is requesting permissions.

Repeat these steps in every browser where you want to access the tabs.<\/p>\n<p>To use\u00a0Tab Session Manager, simply click the extension icon from the browser toolbar. You may need to click the sync button on the first launch.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-712955\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2021-02-08_15-40-07-e1612818285266.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"open extension and sync\" width=\"650\" height=\"465\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Since we named each browser, you can easily see where the tabs are from. The title of each session is the active tab. Click a session to see all of the tabs to the right.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-712956\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2021-02-08_15-43-31-e1612818319167.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"tab session manager details\" width=\"650\" height=\"252\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s all there is to it. You may occasionally need to click the sync button to force an update, and it will ask you to sign back in to Google after a while. This may not be as simple as a built-in method, but it works if you use multiple browsers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
