Hello Is there a way to sync from a device but not to it? I want to be able to see the bookmarks, tabs, history and possibly extensions on my work computer but I do not want my tabs, bookmarks or extensions from my personal devices to sync on the work computer. Is this possible? If not, is there a way, for example, if I use a separate account for work to send/merge the bookmarks and tabs to my personal account?

Sync always works both way and you can't Sync data in one direction. You would need a separate profile with its own Sync account if you want to be able to sync only selected data to other devices.
