  • System and method for synchronizing settings and state information for a browser component
    Patent number: 8621091
    Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for synchronizing settings and state information for a browser component across multiple computing environments. Settings and state information may be stored for a web application in a storage associated with a user account. An API receives updated state information for the browser component from a first web browser associated with the user account and sends a signal to a second web browser associated with the user account that the stored settings and state information was updated. The second web browser may then send a request to the API for the updated information, the API, in response, propagate the updated information to the second web browser.
