Delete: If "browser synchronization" is not a notable subject then there's no need for this list, and as nom pointed out, it's likely outdated and obsolete anyway. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 14:12, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above. Mooonswimmer 15:24, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The technology is effectively a checkmark for most browsers now with few requiring third-party tools to sync settings any longer, and these are for the most part depreciated tools. Nate • (chatter) 16:20, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I take issue with the claim that Browser synchronization is not a notable subject. The cited discussion had input from one other editor and they advocated a merge, not the redirect that happened. Here are a few recent sources establishing notability of the topic: [1]], [2], [3]. The fact that the article is out of date is not a reason to delete it. If a list article is not desireable here, the good content in the list could be merged into a restored Browser synchronization article. ~Kvng (talk) 13:47, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I see the article was actually created to compare standalone software in 2006 when there was no sync feature in browsers but it's evolved into comparing browser features now. The thing is, it's a standard feature now and pretty much same in all browsers and there is not much to compare anymore anyway, it looks useless now.
