Is LocalStorage synchronization for Chrome extensions already available?

Question

I found chromium issue titled \"Allow extensions/apps to sync their own settings\" that has status \'Fixed\'. It\'s from December 2011. So, does it

Answer 1

• chrome.experimental.storage was introduced as an experimental API in Chrome 18.
• In Chrome 19, the API became restricted to the Dev channel.
• Since Chrome 20, the API is not experimental any more ^{Docs | Examples}.

To use the API, manifest version 2 is required. This is the minimum manifest file to get an extension to work in Chrome 20+:

{
  "name": "test",
  "version": "1",
  "manifest_version": 2,
  "permissions": ["storage"]
}
