Modern browsers allow me to keep important things like passwords, bookmarks, etc. synced up in 'The Cloud'. I mainly use Firefox and Chrome.

However, I'm unaware of a way to sync the changes I've made to the browser's dictionary. Every new computer I use I need to teach my style of spelling.

Are there any plugins, add-ons, or other ways of achieving what I want?

sorry but did you mean the one browsers use to correct our typing? nor known to such sync service that browser provides then.

but if it is file-based, some symbolic link and service like dropbox may help.

#actually I use dropbox to synchronize my firefox profile across 3 computers. (they won't be running at the same time, so I don't have to face the conflict problem. )

  • Yes, I mean the dictionary in the browser. I'll clarify my question to reflect this. BTW, the Dropbox solution is a pretty good idea. I would prefer to have an extension mind you. – boehj Sep 21 '11 at 04:44

To do it manually:
In Chrome the user added spellings are stored at C:\Users\XYZ\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default and look for Custom Dictionary.txt. (It will only be present if you have a custom spelling entry)

Then sync it with your cloud service using Symbolic Links.

Chromium and Google Chrome added the feature to version 26. The feature is available in Linux, Windows and Chrome OS but not Mac OS yet:
