Extension Syncing...
Ok, so, I install 2 new extensions on my main Canary system. I drag and drop them where I want them to be placed. I go to my other system and log in and wait for it to be synced. The extensions show up and they are in the same exact place I had placed them on my main system. Great! Syncing extensions works great right? Problem; I go to my other system and I delete those extensions because I really don't need them on that system. I come back to my main system and low and behold, they also got deleted from there!! I don't believe this should happen. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think this is Not good...

Dennis5mileMy thoughts on how to get by this deleting extensions on one system and they get deleted on all your systems...
What if we had a button ">" next to the sync option, that would either bring up a popup or another page with a list of all your extensions you have currently installed on your main account. And next to each extension is a tic box and whatever extension you want to be synced you would tic that box and it will get synced to all your PC/Laptops or what have you that you are logged into.
And maybe another little area where you could have a choice of
a- delete/uninstall (extensionname) from this pc
b- delete/uninstall (extensionname) from all pc's...
Now you have a choice of either installing all extensions to all your pc's or just certain ones and you have a choice to delete/uninstall an extension from all pc's or just from the one you are currently on...
just a rough 20centsworth of thought on the subject of syncing extensions...

today I clean installed Edge canary and I see extension sync is now activated
Version 82.0.439.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit)
- Oh, Great... Let me know how it tests out for you. See if you get the same results I got....
