Links turning blue (syncing older history?)

[coreypenford]

I've recently begun using this extension to sync the link history between my laptop and desktop, and at first it was working as expected.

However, now it appears to be malfunctioning. Last night, with the desktop shut down, I browsed through a few links on Reddit.

When I started using the laptop this morning, all the links I had clicked were now blue, as if I had never clicked them. The desktop is still shutdown. It almost seems as if the history from the desktop took precedence and overwrote the link history on the laptop?

Happy to assist in providing any logs or debug work you would like

I decided to do some digging on this, and believe I identified the problem.

After turning on developer mode in Chrome Extensions and checking off "collect errors", then viewing the console for the background page, I noticed the console repeating the following:

"Unchecked runtime.lastError: QUOTA_BYTES_PER_ITEM quota exceeded"

As per https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/storage/, I believe that my link history has exceeded a set limit in Chromes sync of greater than 8,192 bytes for the item.
