How to use the Windows 10 Timeline with Chrome and Firefox | Utilities

The Timeline is a function of Windows 10 that allows you to synchronize documents and websites open between two or more PCs for up to 30 days. With the "timeline", you can open a website on one computer and continue what you were doing on another machine. The feature, by default, works only with the Microsoft Edge browser. However, with an unofficial extension, it is possible to add support for Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox.

With this trick, the pages opened in these browsers will also be synchronized and can be accessed on other computers in a few clicks. Check, in the following step by step, how to configure the extensive Windows Timeline Support in your browser. The procedure is the same in Chrome and Firefox.
