Ah, looks like I'm different!!
Sync????
Thanks for the explanation:
"As a refresher, Chrome Sync is capable of syncing, and settings across devices signed into with the same Google account. That's the idea, at least."
I'm a heavy user of Firefox, 1+ hours a day. Never used "sync". Heard about it, but never knew what it was.
Now, nope: Don't want it!
For more:
"bookmarks, passwords, browsing history, tabs, payment info, personal info"
I don't know what a "bookmark" is. For the rest, I don't want Firefox involved with remembering any of those. Generally I want Firefox to do less, and less, and less, a lot less.
For all those issues, I have perfectly good, simple, old solutions.
I just want my Web browser doing little more than the minimum a Web browser needs to do and do not want it cooking my lunch or generally doing me favors. And I deeply resent Firefox, ..., my car trying to anticipate what I "want".
E.g., when I need to pound in a nail and swing my hammer, I don't want the hammer stopping, reminding me that a hammer could hurt one of my fingers, and requiring that I push a special button for the hammer to go ahead and hit the nail.
Generally, when I give an order, I want the intended purpose accomplished and do not want warnings, advice, popups, refusals, requirements to repeat my order, etc. Why? I'm trying to get my work done, ASAP, and the special help makes the work take 2-3 times longer.
Back talk: Tools that refuse my command and give me back talk seem to believe that they know more about my work than I do, and that is not just hurting my work but also patronizing and insulting. Tool developer: Don't do that; else, as soon as I have an alternative I will take it.
Yup, looks like I'm different. Maybe lots of people actually like popups, e.g., ones that try to do me favors but cover up what I need to see.
