Chrome’s sync does more and more all the time. What does Firefox Sync do for you? Genuinely curious.

  The big one is syncing of passwords and preferences in an encrypted manner. It means that I can nearly transparently switch computers while still using secure randomly-generated passwords for each site. Last I checked that was not supported by Chrome Sync, but if I'm out of date with that, I'd love to know.

    Yes, it does password and autofill sync now.

      Does Google know about your passwords?

        You can enable client side encryption. At this point you'll have to give chrome a password the first time it wants to sync, but google wouldn't know your passwords. On a related note: what exactly is the business value for google to abuse your trust and misuse the passwords you've given them in the course of non-client-side encrypted password sync?

            So use the client side encryption.
