Can tab groups be synchronised between devices? If so, which is the "master" if two devices have different groups?

Though bookmarks can be synchronised, there does not appear to be a way of synchronising tab groups.

Additionally, if two distinct setups for tab groups were in place on PCs before activating sync, which set would become the master sert?

Hi obelix6320, No master, it merges by default and currently there is not an options to change this.

The first device to connect to the server creates a back up of the profile of that device. The second device merges with the first. I would assume its which one competes a sync first.

Thanks for the reply, which answers the unasked question relating to bookmarks, etc, but, unfortunately, not the one I asked, which related to tab groups - which don't appear to synchronise at all.
