Moving profiles between computers, macOS, how updates are verified, and what Phones in the sidebar is.

Can I move profiles between machines?
Yes, through Cloud Sync. A profile's cookies, Local Storage and IndexedDB are captured when it closes, encrypted on your machine and uploaded. Another computer signed in to the same workspace opens the same profile and picks up where the session left off, and the single-holder lease keeps one machine on it at a time. Cloud Sync is on by default, and an owner or admin of your organisation can switch it off and on in Settings. For a one-off copy, export the profiles to a file and import it on the other computer.
Use Cloud Sync between computers, step by step
Is there a macOS build?
PowerOps is Windows only today. If that changes, the download page is where it will show up first.
How do updates verify?
PowerOps verifies every update before it installs anything, and nothing installs until an owner or admin of the workspace chooses Update now.
What is Phones in the sidebar?
Phones is where PowerOps brings the Android phones you own, connected to this computer, into the same workspace as your browser profiles. It carries a Soon label because it is not open to every account yet, and choosing it tells you so.
