    Cloud based browsing

    I want to be able to setup a bunch of tabs on a browser on a computer in a school and then when I go onto another machine or smartphone or tablet, log on - and see the same screens as I had on the first one.

    I don't want/need to simply keep remote control of the 1st machine - I want a cloud/vm thingy instance dedicated to me and just use any available computing device as a client access thingy.

    Is this available to me now (at reasonable cost) or do I have to build a time machine and go forward into the future first?

    Si

    Firefox Sync can do similar - syncs tabs, favourites, history, passwords etc

    This is not a cloud thing, not everything on the internet is a cloud thing stop using marketing terms you know better. </rant>

    As above there are plugins that will do this for firefox and chrome.

    Sorry - used "cloud" when I should have used "whatzit thingy"

    As above there are plugins that will do this for firefox and chrome.
    Not really practical to have all plugins installed (and uptodate) on all the computers

    I want to go to a computer, simply logon to a "whatzit thingy" (I'm thinking browse to a website for that) and then it all magically appears in front of me

    Probably want I want is some sort of "cloud" !!!! machine running in the Amazon S3forest that I can access from anywhere but with ability to download files from to my local machine/device I'm working on - like dropbox but a whole computer (but I'd be happy with a browser at first )
