Summary
This extension serves two main purposes:

1. It backs up your game to Chrome's builtin storage (chrome.storage API). This allows you to load your Cookie Clicker save from any Chrome browser that you are logged into*. If you are logged into multiple browsers at the same time and running multiple instances of the game, the game with the highest HC/total cookie count will be used.

2. It allows you to send a saved game to your home (or other) computer automatically. You set (one or more) browsers to "primary" and when you decide, you can tell all "primary" browsers to load your current game. This allows you to login from a friends house (or work/school), make changes to your game, then send them back to your home computer so you can continue earning cookies.

Author note: This extension was built to meet my personal needs. While I am open to feature requests, I do not intend on growing this project into anything larger than it should be. Please report any defects or bugs, I am certainly interested in fixing those ASAP.

*Chrome must be signed in and this extension must be installed anywhere you want to save/load a game.
Safety
Risk impact

Cookie Clicker, Chrome Syncer requires some risky permissions and may not be safe to use. Exercise caution when installing this extension. Review carefully before installing.

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypass your security settings, and access your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Risk likelihood

Cookie Clicker, Chrome Syncer may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension, especially ones with higher risk impact and/or higher risk likelihood.
