Abstract
Techniques and solutions are described for content synchronization across devices. A web page currently being viewed at a first device associated with a user profile of a user can be identified. Browsing information for the page (such as URL, scrolling location, and a DOM element) may be stored in the profile. The DOM element may be associated with page content displayed during a browsing session in a viewport while the web page is at the current scrolling location. The browsing information may be updated dynamically, upon detecting a change in the current scrolling location of the page at the first device. A request for displaying the web page at a second device associated with the user profile may be received. The browsing information for the web page may be provided to the second device, so that the web page with the current scrolling location is displayed at the second device.
