    And it’s always been Firefox since day one. Out of the ashes of Netscape Navigator rose Firefox and Mozilla have been one of the only bastions of the free and open web ever since. I honestly don’t understand why anyone would use another browser.

        Actually it’s an effective cloud-based password manager that doesn’t rely on local storage or weird plugins or backups.

        That’s what keeps me using chrome. I could lose everything in a house fire, pick up any device, log in and have access to all my stuff without any further action on my part, right out of the box.

        That’s the only feature I care about, and chrome is the only browser I’ve seen that provides it.

        Get me that in firefox, and I’ll switch today.

          What are you talking about? Firefox has had literally Sync since before Chrome existed.

          Firefox Sync initial release: December 21, 2007

          Google Chrome intial release: September 2, 2008 (Beta), (1.0) December 11, 2008

          A full year, my guy.

          I’m confused since Firefox Sync has been letting you sync/backup your passwords, bookmarks and history for a decade or two at this point, and you can even self-host the sync server.

          I don’t know the complete FF password manager details (Bitwarden user here) but where does Firefox fall short for you?
