This is what I have observed with Chromium-based browsers. If you do not have a syncing account with your browser vendor, I have observed that the cloud storage feature can still be used as a local clipboard to save a pane settings. Might be convenient sometimes, but please do not use cloud storage as a replacement for [uBlock Origin's backup feature](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Dashboard:-Settings#backuprestore-section). It is recommended you back up your settings regularly, this is especially true for those who have extensive custom static filters, custom rules, whitelist directives.
