What info is Google Sync exactly saving?

Email has become one of the most important forms of communication. Like everything else, though, it has its limitations. Above anything else, it works strictly from the internet.

We have been loving Chrome for Android. You can easily sync your browsers and even access open tabs across multiple devices, but one thing has been missing.
