Windows 8 Chrome Uses Same Profile for Desktop and Metro

Last updated on September 23, 2012 By Venkat

When Google released initial version of Chrome for Windows 8 we reviewed the comparison between metro Chrome and desktop Chrome we did noted that both versions don’t share add-ons, theme as if they’ve different profiles for Metro and Desktop, that’s true at that point. Few days back with Dev channel update things were changed altogether, one change we just covered is how to relaunch Chrome on desktop from Windows 8 Mode, another one is Chrome on Windows 8 uses single and same profile for desktop and Windows 8 modes where extensions or themes installed for one version available in other since they use the same profile. So the  Changes made to either of them will reflect in another, so some confusion has been avoided with this.

Are you happy with this change? share with us in comments.

    Yes, I am happy with this feature. It is nice not to have to re-customize the metro version. :-)
