Left when they disabled uBlock Origin.

I was 60% Chrome and 40% Firefox, now I'm 99% Firefox and 1% Chromium.

Google's AI Studio does not always seem to work well in Firefox. That is my only usage on Chrome. On top of some web application testing.

Same. The removal of manifest V2 was one of the worst and most user hostile moves in a long time IMHO. Though the impending blocking of side loading and other locking down of Android stands to rival if not exceed it. Really dark times for Google

you don't need to be logged in atm, AFAIK

I believe they're talking about the mechanism where logging into Chrome automatically signs you into many of Google's services across the web.

For me, the purpose of logging in to my Mozilla account in Firefox is to sync saved passwords and tabs between devices. If I was a Chrome user, I would want to log in to Chrome for the same reason.

The problem for me is the fusing of the browser with a preferred 'platform' of services. I don't want a partisan browser.

The purpose of logging into a browser has always been to synchronize bookmarks, settings, and extensions.

Chrome is a browser, not your Google account?
