But without signing into Google?

I'm getting a new work laptop tomorrow and want to have chrome set up as I currently have it. But I don't want to sign in with my Google account as I don't want it syncing across non-work computers.

Any ideas? It looks like I can import history using an html file, but I can't see how to make one to import to the new machine.

Create a new (throw away) Google account on Gmail or Outlook.com just for the sync / transfer?

You can export saved passwords into a file & re-import it, or is this not what you are after?

Yep, found that, thanks. Also managed to save my Chrome profile to the cloud which I think will do it. I'll find out tomorrow. 🤞
