Migrate from local storage to chrome storage

[Kunamatata]

I've noticed the extension uses local storage to store the configuration. We could use https://developer.chrome.com/apps/storage instead to keep the configuration synced onto different computers logged into the same google account.

I wouldn't want to have my browser data synced across (home and work) devices, nor do I use Google Chrome account.

Although that is good point for those who value privacy and security some others might not want that or care about extension data synced between their devices, some like the idea or possibility.

Maybe it could be something added to the configuration ? On the client view, an option to sync to their Google Account.

As a side note, if you do not want your data to be synced across devices you can change those settings yourself here : chrome://settings/syncSetup.

To be more specific, this issue isn't about sharing browser data such as private history or passwords or anything that affects personal privacy. This is about storing the configuration of your extension, so that someone that is at work or at home won't have to reconfigure every time.

Good point; basically like an option in the settings like in uBlock.

Thanks for creating this issue. I was thinking about it but then kind of forgot it... I'll look into adding this with an option to sync it or not in the options for a future version. I am currently working on a settings page to manage white lists, black lists and other settings.
