Anybody running the "The Google Browser Sync Extension"?

What GBSE, which currently only works with Firefox 1.5+, does is
"continuously synchronizes your browser settings – including
bookmarks, history, persistent cookies, and saved passwords – across
your computers. It also allows you to restore open tabs and windows
across different machines and browser sessions."

Data to be synchronized across multiple computers is stored in your
Google Service Account and because synchronization includes
potentially sensitive information such as passwords and persistent
cookies synchronization is encrypted for transfer between computers
using a PIN created during setup.

For anyone who routinely uses multiple computers with Firefox the
Google Browser Sync Extension is a must have.
