For me: because Chrome is the only browser with worry-free sync.
Firefox's sync for example doesn't sync extension settings, search engines and it fails on Android multiple times per day, with the only solution to logout and login again.
- williamoforange 2y agoHuh, I use FF sync across multiple devices and with extensions, on android etc... never had that issue, my only hitch can be the sync can take a bit for passwords and can't be manually initiated as far as i can tell. Might be the extensions you are using or how cookies are being handled perhaps?
- Zak 2y ago> Firefox's sync for example doesn't sync extension settings, search engines and it fails on Android multiple times per day Chrome for Android doesn't support extensions at all, so I'm a bit confused as to how that's a better experience for you.
- lucumo 2y agoIt's not a difficult puzzle: I find an always working and worry-free sync of open tabs more important than having extensions on mobile. I'd like to have those too, but right now I have to choose.
- int_19h 2y agoVivaldi sync works like clockwork for me across Windows/Linux/Mac/iOS/Android after their last major update in this department.
- lucumo 2y agoI loved Vivaldi's configurability. But it's sync is slightly moody as well. It can fail for a while. Though it is better than Firefox's in that it fixes itself. But Vivaldi doesn't support bookmarklets and I use those a lot.
- int_19h 2y agoThey have completely redone their sync implementation a couple of months ago, which seems to have fixed all the lingering issues (and also added E2EE, which I consider the bare minimum in any case).
