Reason to Use Firefox Is Sync That Works

• Firefox Sync Server

  48 1,843 2.1 Python

  Run-Your-Own Firefox Sync Server

  

Firefox's sync service is open source [1], so you can self-host it and update your about:config to point to it. I do this and it works great.

Caveat is that I've linked to the old Python one, and they've got a new Rust one, but it didn't support SQLite the last time I had checked.

I took a glance at Can I Use what the difference between the last public release of Firefox and Chrome is [1] and they don't really have that big of a difference in the eyes of normal use-cases? Some of these aren't implemented purely because of privacy reasons, the proposals aren't finished yet or complexity [2].

Why would Firefox need to change to Chromium engine? The only websites I notice that don't work with Firefox is because of user-agent targetting or just putting 5-second time-outs in Youtube code on non-chrome webbrowsers [3].

Can you give some examples of websites not working on Firefox?

I don't think Firefox Sync manages userChrome though. I currently manage those files together with the rest of my dotfiles with Chezmoi:
