Syncing Kiwi using 'hard links' into Chrome's data folder

Kiwi Browser has no syncing option, while other Chromium browsers do have. A workaround ------------ The idea/hack is to: 1. install another browser (like Chrome Beta), 2. not use it, 3. and hard-wired Kiwi's data into the former's data folder. 4. *(existing Kiwi will trigger the other browser syncing activity)* The following experimental script, --------------------------------- is trying to hard-link Chrome's data to a different folder. *Note that Kiwi Browser isn't involved yet at all.* This is just a POC, to see how well a Chromium browser works with "hard links". Is it working? - No. -------------------- Chrome is able to open correctly. But it saves nothing as expected. Not Preferences, not History, not nothing. # Source (Chrome's data), # Target (the folder outside of Chrome): S="./app_chrome/Default" T="/data/data/shared/app_chrome/Default" # Creation of hard links: cd /data/data/com.android.chrome ln -f $T/History $S ln -f $T/Bookmarks $S ln -f $T/Preferences $S *P.S.: with 'soft' (symbolic) link (instead of the above 'hard-links'), Chrome will not even be able to launch.*
