Posting this on Lemmy is preaching to the choir.

    14% ain't bad i suppose. and some FF users may be masking, and your sample size of 12 may not be very representative

    Hi. I'm on lemmy. I haven't switched. Why? Because there an insane amount of incorporation into Google. Email, my phone communicating to pc, passwords, auto fill, saved cookies, credit cards.

    I want to switch. I want to get off chrome from what I've been reading regarding it's practices. But I'm so engraved and the undertaking of switching is not something I've committed to yet. Or might never. I already have a Google Home in my kitchen. I feel like privacy isn't something I have a privilege of anymore.

    They've got me.

    My Firefox experience is seamless between my work station, laptop and Android phone. Syncing happens immediately when I open my session on either of them. I don't use the Google ecosystem much though (I mean Google pay, etc) so transitioning may be harder than I imagine from where I sit

    Oh man! Download KeePassXC, put your passwords on there, install the browser extension to use it in your browsers. You can back it up any way you want, including using Google Drive because the file is encrypted.

    Some people don't want to sign up to a cloud provider or manage their own instance. KeePassXC offers a simple file that can be stored on your devices. It's easy to sync using your existing cloud accounts and encrypted.

    The overlap of the community that don't want to sign up to cloud providers and those that save their passwords to chrome is a very small overlap.

    Poco a poco, little by little. Jumping into the deepend is not for everyone
