My regular machine which has syncing turned on had 4 windows and 120 tabs which we will call computer 1.
I turned on my old machine which has not been used for a few years still running Windows 10 which we will call computer 2.
Computer 2 was logged into the same Google account as Computer 1 and it asked to sync but what ended up happening was on computer 1, the windows and tabs all got replaced automatically with what was on Computer 2.
I always thought it was not supposed to replaced the tabs on other computers or devices but each device was supposed to have it's own browser windows and tabs and you can open what's on the other devices from the history where it shows the other devices.
Was this supposed to happen? If so, how do I set it so it will show the tabs in history for other devices but not replace the current tabs or windows for Chrome?
