wishlist: use synchronized settings instead of local settings, maybe optionally.

Right now this addon uses browser.storage.local for settings. Using instead the browser.storage.sync system the configuration on one computer will automatically sync with other computers if Firefox sync is enabled.

That'd be rather nice to have, perhaps as an option, since this is a "chrome-like" setting, and Firefox syncs most other UI / chrome settings automatically too.

Good idea, I didn't know about the sync storage. Will experiment and release something in a few days.

I researched and experimented a little bit this weekend. Having a local/sync storage fallback adds noticeable latency as the extension have to lookup its config for each page it is loaded into. I also looked about dropping support for the storage.local but I think it's not the right moment - the storage.sync was introduced with FF v63, the old ESR is v60, there is new ESR v68 just released but there are still some users on v60 and a few on older versions, e.g. ESR v52.

So I will leave it open for now and revisit later.
