I went from Firefox to Chrome/Chromium full-time a couple of years ago because of Chrome’s built-in sync feature. And then I started using Chrome on my Android, which was fabulously fast and in sync, too. The end-user in me was happy.

As part of my “Can I Live Without Google Products?” experiment which I did a few weeks ago, I switched over to Firefox from Chrome for a full 2 weeks. Then I realised Firefox now had sync — which I could run on my own server (if I were so inclined).

The seldom-seen openness fanatic in me rejoiced.
