Since Firefox sync is already open-source and there are various people working on making it more understandable and easy to use, I think building a Chrome plugin to allow users to access their Firefox sync data might be a good start. It doesn't have to be fancy, and from a brief look at the Chrome developer docs I don't think it can replace Chrome's built-in sync, but even if it's just something simple it would be something that would show the potential of open sync.

We can use code from https://github.com/edmoz/fxa-sync-client and https://github.com/zaach/node-fx-sync to get started. To simplify things, let's only target Fx sync 1.5 users.
