Does Opera GX completely sync with Google?

I would really like to make a switch from opera Chrome to opera GX, but before I do that, I would like to know what I miss out on. For example, chrome is always synced with my phone: I can see the tabs which I opened there, when I log into anything googe I get a notification directly on the device and so on. It saves all my passwords and always associates me with my google account. Could anybody tell me what other features I will potentially miss out on?

@pasham999 Opera does not automatically connect to Google at all, and for many people who don't want Google knowing all about them that is a feature.

@sgunhouse You say automatically. Does that mean I can turn it on manually? I actually really want Google to know more about me, it make the experience better.

@pasham999 Opera doesn't sync with Google or any other service beside its own.

There may be some extensions that allows you to store some data in your Google account

Switching from Google Chrome to Opera GX, you may miss out on some features that are specific to Chrome. Here are some of the features that you may miss:

Google Sync: With Google Chrome, you can sync your bookmarks, history, settings, and extensions across multiple devices. This means that you can access the same information on your phone, tablet, or another computer. However, Opera GX also has its own synchronization service that allows you to sync bookmarks, tabs, and other data across multiple devices.

Google Account Integration: Google Chrome is tightly integrated with Google services, such as Gmail, Google Drive, and YouTube. If you use these services frequently, you may miss the convenience of having them integrated with your browser. However, Opera GX also allows you to integrate with services like Facebook, WhatsApp, and Telegram.
