Mentioned the one you replied to, but it syncs as normal to Mozilla's profile sync - what are you losing out on if the maintainer stops maintaining it?
"It can die some day" - everything does.
- ryanisnan 4y agoThat is far from the only concern. For me, the biggest consideration is trust. With such a small maintainer base, you are placing a large amount of trust in their team. There would be huge motivation in creating a privacy-focused browser that secretly slurps data and/or monitors users somehow[1]. Using a project like this would require me trusting a small-handful of people I don't know at all, and aren't represented by an entity I somewhat inherently trust (Mozilla). I can't say my logic is without holes, for example I don't do much to verify my trust in Mozilla, but you have to make generalizations in this field or you would never get anything done.
