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.

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.

It'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.
