Description

#### What problem does this solve?

When I cutsomise Harper's WebExtension on one installation, I am forced to duplicate this effort to each of my installations, should those customisations be applicable elsewhere.

#### Proposed Solution

Synchronise preference customisation via the internet browser synchronisation API[s].

#### Examples

- Chromium/Blink's CRX

- Firefox/Gecko[View]'s XPI

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the WebExtension clients and their preference storage, then compare the Chromium and Firefox browser synchronization APIs. Done means customisations made in one installation are synchronised to the user's other supported installations.
