Profile In The Cloud (PICL) is a mechanism for synchronizing browser state between a user's various devices. The user attaches a given local profile to a remote account by "logging into their browser", which then uploads and downloads data as necessary to bring the local profile into harmony with the server-held data. Possible PICL services include: bookmarks/history/tabs/passwords backup/syncing, social API preferences, sharing providers, WebRTC bridge provider, file-storage service, etc. | Profile In The Cloud (PICL) is a mechanism for synchronizing browser state between a user's various devices.
