If you are logged into Chrome your history is synchronized across platforms, tied to your Google account. Same as with Firefox Sync. Not sure about behavior when not logged in, or when incognito.

Firefox Sync is quite different than Chrome's version; with Firefox your data is encrypted locally on your machine before it is synced.

That is also an option for Chrome.

Are you sure about that? Certainly at least some of the synced information is encrypted before sync by default (passwords).
