“We disagree with this ruling and are confident the facts of the case are on our side,” Google spokesperson Jose Castaneda said in response to an AFP inquiry. Google launched Sync in 2009 with the aim of letting Chrome users access bookmarks, passwords, tabs and more across devices by linking to a Google account, the internet giant said in a blog post.
