I’ve been using the MacOS Beta for a while and lack of uBlock Origin has made browsing terrible again. Ads everywhere now and I had forgotten how bad it was.
Firefox has gotten pretty good now, the only problem is no integration with Keychain which is a serious downside. On iOS I use Safari but with BlockBear and Firefox Focus as content blockers. So my experience there is pretty good. iCloud Keychain makes my password situation a lot better going between iOS and MacOS... I’m not sure I can achieve the same using Firefox right now.

- DCKing 7y agoThat is true currently. Know that this problem will be strongly reduced in the next version of Firefox, to be released on October 22nd. Firefox will use much less power then, on par with Chrome (haven't seen direct comparisons to Safari). Unfortunately by the time it's released Catalina will be out for a month already.
- joaobeno 7y agoDid you try the Firefox Account? I use Firefox on desktop, android and iOS, and sync my passwords with no problem.
- rubyfan 7y agoCan you sync passwords between Firefox and Keychain? I’m essentially looking for that. I use iOS apps which leverage Keychain which can share passwords with both app and website. I’d ideally like to not have multiple password tools.
