Can I enable an extension synced via Google only on some Chrome installs?

Question

Google Chrome's sync feature is quite nice and very useful in many instances, though a few are somewhat annoying. Mouse Gesture extensions somewhat lose their usefulness and occasionally get in the way on laptops.

Whenever I enable or disable the extension on either of my computers, it syncs that with the other; can I selectively break this link somehow?

Answer 1

Under Settings->Advanced Sync Settings choose to not sync extensions.

An alternative would be to create a new Google account for laptops and add a new user to Chrome that uses the newly created account to sync from.
