Sync Page

Browser Sync is a Pro feature.

When enabled, XpressPurge uses the browser's built-in sync storage to sync:

• rules;
• presets;
• active preset IDs;
• Filtering state;
• hide behavior;
• Show-only mode;
• update timestamp.

Browser Sync does not require an XpressPurge account. It uses your browser account, such as Google or Firefox, depending on the browser.

Browser Sync does not include:

• Smart Rules feed history;
• hidden-log previews;
• analytics events or aggregates.

The Smart tab is a Pro workspace for reviewed Smart Rule suggestions.

It includes:

• the Smart Rules on/off toggle;
• explicit local feed-history consent;
• feed-history retention and clear controls;
• Analyze my last 500 posts;
• reviewed suggestion cards.

Smart Rules feed history is local-only and clearable.
