> According to Google Chrome privacy policy “signed-in Chrome mode” works differently than the basic (non-signed) mode. Accordingly “your personal browsing data is saved on Google's servers and synced with your account. This type of information can include: Browsing history, Bookmarks, Tabs, Passwords and Autofill information, Other browser settings, like installed extensions”
> In line with privacy policy, this could be the case. However, data synchronisation appears not to happen by default in practice (as also confirmed here). It seems this behavior is not accounted by the privacy policy, which means either the policy is obsolete (and needs to be updated, which suggests potential issues in the internal privacy program, and possibly the priorities), or the mechanic may be subject to change in future.
It may have been updated in the last few hours, but right now, the privacy policy clearly specifies that that section is for the "Signed-in, Synced Chrome mode", and that "Sync is only enabled if you choose". Just signing in does not automatically enable sync.
