Google Chrome allows you to synchronize a lot of information, including bookmarks and extensions, so you don’t need to send or forward them to other devices. However, it is not without drawbacks, as evidenced by the fact that many reported problems with Chrome synchronization on their computers. To be precise, users have reported the following problems.
Chrome synchronization is suspended. When you sign out of Gmail, Google Chrome automatically stops synchronization.
Chrome doesn’t synchronize bookmarks, extensions, open tabs or passwords – if you have this problem, turn off your antivirus software and see if it will help.
It doesn’t fix Chrome’s sync error: if Chrome keeps getting a sync error, just uninstall and then reinstall your browser to fix the problem.
Syncing Favorites doesn’t work: Chrome syncs don’t work with Favorites. If you have this problem, updating your passphrase to synchronize may solve it.

Several workstations
If you use Chrome Sync on more than one desktop, you need to make the two changes above for each desktop. This problem may appear on any workstation where you use Chrome and Chrome Sync. So it is best to apply it to all systems that use the same Google account for synchronization.
This “bug” started to appear towards the end of last year and it seems that synchronization is interrupted on average every two weeks. You can log out more or less often, but most users mark two weeks as an active synchronization period.
During synchronization, you won’t be able to access open tabs, added new tabs and browsing history from the Chrome browser in which you added them. Fortunately, after you enable synchronization again, everything will synchronize properly.
