Syncing Chrome across devices has long rendered the point moot. If you wanted syncing you were already logged in to the browser. If you didn't want syncing, there was no reason to use Chrome.
- inyourtenement 8y agoChrome is not the only browser to do syncing, and syncing is not the only feature of Chrome. This comment makes no sense.
- giancarlostoro 8y agoAnd yet Firefox has sync too.
- jasonjayr 8y agoBut you can sync w/ your own server, with a little extra work.
- giancarlostoro 8y agoI didn't mean it as a bad thing. Firefox's sync features are encrypted. In fact, if you reset your password you lose all your sync data as a result[0].

- vxNsr 8y agoI'm actually kinda upset at firefox, because I wanted to switch, but when I tried the syncing (from one firefox instance to another) it didn't seem to work for like 90% of my bookmarks, history, passwords so I kinda gave up.
- pastununtrium 8y agoFirefox and Firefox focus come with the anonymous stats tracking enabled. That kinda pissed me off, but as long as that’s the only thing they are doing to track, I’ll move back to Firefox over chrome happily.
- giancarlostoro 8y agoYou may like to know that it is encrypted on their servers, and if you lost your password, resetting your password nukes all your data. So I don't mind letting Mozilla host the contents.
- 0x0 8y agoI don't want syncing but I still appreciate a good web rendering engine with frequent security updates. So you're wrong.
- Razengan 8y agoIf you’re on macOS, Safari is quite capable at each of that.
