I never understood why Mozilla doesn't offer paid privacy respecting services (outside basic sync that already exists) like email, cross platform password storage etc.
- tokioyoyo 2y agoBecause everyone who cares about it is already using some sort of a service like that, and it’s incredibly niche market so it’s not worth the effort to develop and support such projects.
- kelvinjps10 2y agoBut imagine if Mozilla would have done this before, like capturing the market now proton has
- sieabahlpark 2y agoIt's almost like... They're owned by Google and don't really compete or something... Gee, fucking wow, it's almost as if it's plain a day why they've sucked as a corp, non profit, and culturally for a decade at this point.
- anyfactor 2y agoMozilla should have been doing what Proton is doing. But considering how far Proton has gone I wouldn't be surprised if Proton spun up their own browser at this point.
- Qem 2y agoI think password storage is covered by Firefox sync.
- mdaniel 2y agoOnly within the confines of web usage, unless you know something about Firefox Sync injecting passwords into Android apps or environment variables Also, like it or not, I think Passkeys/WebAuthn is going to be pushed more and more, so without a user focused way to own them, that's another reason not to try and use a browser (any of them!) as a password store
- flessner 2y agoNot using services funded by Google is pretty high on my personal privacy checklist. Also, they offer some services (like VPN, Relay, Pocket) that usually end up as annoying bloatware in Firefox.
