From reading the technical issues Mozilla seems to care far more about itself than what is best for users.
Because allowing advertising-centric browsers like Chrome to read user's Messages data and import Browsing History data would be a nightmare for user's privacy. We already know Google uses browser history for advertising purposes.
Some of us just want our phone to be a phone. Not a computer that we have to constantly secure, manage and triage.

- sgift 3y agoUh ... it's in the best interest of users to not be allowed to choose to import their history in a different browser? Yeah, that sounds reasonable. Not.
- threeseed 3y agoChrome today is categorising that browsing history for advertisers. Who in turn are packaging it alongside other data to track you across the internet. Which for Apple and me as well is not worth a mild UX inconvenience.
- sgift 3y agoDon't get me wrong, I'm not using Chrome for all of these reasons and many more. But I'm not trusting Apple, Microsoft or Google to make the rules here. If people want to be stupid, that's their decision.
