Just a hunch but have you signed into Chromium with your google account |
| 15 |
? Google has this feature/anti-feature (based on your outlook) where it |
| 16 |
syncs bookmarks, history among other things with their servers so you have |
| 17 |
access to it on all your computers where you've signed into Chromium. |
