Getting rid of manifest v2 and propping up a scam extension. Chrome is looking more and more disgusting

I keep wondering why people on HN use Chrome at all three days.

There was a couple of years when people posted demos that only worked in IE^H Chrome but right now everything I need works in Firefox and I don't even see demos that need Chrome anymore.

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.

Huh, 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?
