Do you loss your browser data every time when you re-install a browser or format your system? Do you have a lot of bookmarks in your browser? So, you want to protect your browser’s settings for sure. Or may be you need your browser data and settings at two or more different devices simultaneously. You can improve your browsing. How could you do that:

What does a Browser Contain?

A browser contains these following data, which you may need at any time while surfing:

  • Apps
