Now that Sync is becoming more of a foreground feature with Synced Tabs and Send to Device, I would love for there to be automated tests to ensure that these features are working properly. There are several states that the Sync UI can get into based on the status of the account or other devices, and I’ve even noticed parts of the Sync UI going “out of sync” (i.e. sidebar contents not matching panel).
If this is at all possible, please reach out. I can provide more details about the UI.
