A better statement should be: you should remain vigilant and light on attachment to any banner. If an ill wind blows and you don’t like it, it’s time to move. Control your data- aspire to be a digital nomad.
Firefox isn’t without it’s own issues, recently. Google used to be viewed as a paragon once, too.
Once upon a time I think they were largely harmless … but once they started leaning into profit over quality they went rotten in a hurry. Exactly why I’m concerned with mozilla’s path.
I don’t use the password manager in Firefox, what a terrible idea.
Use an independent password manager, something purpose-built.
And using Linux? Hahaha, right, right. Call me when there’s a serious OneNote, or even more importantly, Excel competitor. (Or even a standard shell on Linux, or the same set of tools built in).
Firefox Sync was purposefully built too, they didn’t wake up one day to find it on the porch in a basket.
It syncs passwords, works on desktop and mobile and can do some other cool stuff — syncs tabs and bookmarks, alerts you to password breaches, send tabs from one device to another, lets you export your passwords etc. It’s a good password manager.
It is not the software which can lack seriousness, but the developer and the user. One is proprietary where the developer controls the user’s computing - the other is free software where the user is in control (free as in freedom).

Google was always incorrectly viewed as a paragon.

Must have been when it was still a bunch of servers in a garage.
How do you know someone runs Linux?
Don’t worry, they’ll tell you.

Why? You’re talking as if browser password managers aren’t purpose-built. “I love entering a password to fill my passwords for me instead of entering a password” —statement dreamed up by the utterly deranged. (I think we all should just use auto-locking.)
Web-based stuff like Notion and Google Keep
LibreOffice Calc with Tabbed UI
what is that

Funny troll is funny
Say there’s no standard shell on Linux again and I’ll Bash your head in

Well, there does keep being more reasons by the day…
