Yes, vendor lock-in is an issue; and I hope eventually there'll be a way to sync credentials across browsers. But keep in mind that, even as things are now, it only locks you to a specific browser, not to a specific OS.
- Filligree 8y agoExporting the passwords is also possible, so it's not really much lock-in. Not to the kind of person who'd care, and want to switch browsers.
- Skunkleton 8y agoYou got it backwards. Vendor lock-in rarely applies to experts. It is the people who "don't care" that _we_ should care about protecting from lock-in. After all, that is how we got internet explorer 6.
- Filligree 8y agoThose, in my experience, are the same people who can't switch browsers. They aren't capable of learning new things, and can often barely keep going with what they have.
- Skunkleton 8y agoNot in my experience. They are the people who just don't care. What they have works well enough, so they don't look to change it.
- cheeze 8y agoAssuming your browser syncs passwords, etc. I know a ton of people who use Chrome on non-mobile and Safari on mobile.
- Wowfunhappy 8y agoGood point—anyone using Chrome is good. I was thinking of people who are using Safari or Edge, which aren't available on other platforms.
