So here is my issue right now: I have two computers right now with very different specs: one with lots of RAM and processing power that can deal with pretty much everything I can throw at it and an older entry budget laptop with only a Silver Pentium and 4 GB of RAM running on eMMC (where the eMMC is basically so slow that swapping memory is hardly an option). Now the latter one is a laptop that I saved from a certain death (found on top of a trash can on the street an early morning) and for the life of me I can't help myself and get attached to these old machines and like to squeeze every drop of performance from these. Enough with the digression: I find it hard to jungle with only one syncing account because of (and only because of) the add-ons. For instance my password manager add-on all by itself can take up to 300 MB. And another add-on takes up another 150 MB. So I uninstall those on the low spec laptop, but then if I don't log off out of syncing, these add-ons get uninstall on the big machine. I think it would be great to have at least two different "spec profiles" in one single syncing account, so that you don't have to either create another account altogether and have to manually sync everything else or have to think all the time about when to start syncing and when to stop syncing. What a headache! Or is there something I've been missing out on?

TL;DR

Two different computer spec profiles for each syncing account. You can also add OS or desktop specific add-ons by the way, such as on KDE.
