> Extension settings can sync, I don't know exactly if it is opt-in or opt-out but some extensions do sync on desktop.
I mostly tried with uBO. Couldn't get it to work.
- kevincox 1y agoYeah, search engines don't which is annoying and confusing. However on desktop you can use keyword bookmarks which offer basically the same functionality and do sync. uBlock Origin does it's own weird thing where you need to trigger the sync in the settings interface. I don't think you can blame Firefox for this UX choice.

Most search engines don't support it, but some do. > uBlock Origin does it's own weird thing where you need to trigger the sync in the settings interface. I don't think you can blame Firefox for this UX choice. It made the same choice in Chrome, so I was familiar with that. It works there, it doesn't work on Firefox. I think it's fair to put that on Firefox.
