Forgive the novice here. How do I load/use this? Do I load it like an extension in developer mode?

Backup works but
Restore error @chrome version 67

VM109:55 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'length' of undefined
at parse_data (:55:48)
at HTMLButtonElement.restore (:107:24)
parse_data @ VM109:55
restore @ VM109:107

Everything still works @ ms edge chrome canary 76. Thanks for script !

Hi, I try these script but it seems that in latest versions of chromium appear an error when I try to restore

Here's a Image, the browser used was Brave Browser Version 1.11.101 Chromium: 84.0.4147.89 (Official Build) (64-bit)

This doesn't seem to be working as-is at this time of writing, I suspect due to recent security-driven changes. Particularly, if I'm understanding correctly based on what search results I was able to find (apologies if I'm off base here, I'm a layman), the issue appears to be due to content security policies affecting innerHTML (e.g., see this SE post).

Based upon the answers iI did make an attempt to modify the code in-line directly from the console, but as I expected due to my complete lack of knowledge/experience, I'm getting a syntactical error:

Uncaught SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token

thx! This works on Edge 105, though the line
const keys = Array.from(new Set(Object.keys(flags).concat(Object.keys(current))));
needs to be changed to
const keys = Object.keys(current);
to avoid undefined key problem in the line
const same = keys.filter((k) => current[k].value == flags[k].value);

the same problem also occurs when current has more keys than flags

No longer works for me on Edge 108 Beta on Windows Insider build
backup does not prompt to save
restore says
Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'value')
Was working a few months back on earlier versions with @shpj123 fix
