Since currently Lemmy is mostly made up of nerds, I'd like to know what browsers you use and why? You could just upvote the comment with your browser of choice if you don't want to explain.

Google Chrome because I'm hooked on extension syncing and have had poor experiences with Firefox. I'll reevaluate once Manifest v2 is sunsetted.

I've never had an issue with Firefox extension sync. Is it something like extension settings not getting synced? I've never paid attention to those.

For Firefox I'm moreso concerned about performance issues that I've run into with certain sites, as well as apprehension surrounding Mozilla (though Google is DEFINITELY not any better). Extension syncing (and general setting syncing, for that matter) mostly comes into play when I try to use something like LibreWolf or Ungoogled Chromium. I love the latter, but it's painful to have to manually sync my extension changes across devices. At least I can do bookmarks with xBrowserSync, but I'm SoL for everything else. 😭
