>"The numbers don't back either of your claims, though - significantly more people use Safari and Chrome than use Firefox."
The reason we're in disagreement is we're picking different forms of comparison. You're looking at popularity, I'm looking at technology. I don't dispute more people use Chrome, but that doesn't make it automatically better from a technical point of view. As I said before, technically Firefox and Chrome are fairly equal, and there are benchmarks and feature comparisons that back this up.

"It's just so convenient to be able to pull up on my phone the tab I had open on my browser when I'm in the kitchen cooking, or whatever."
FWIW, Firefox supports syncing tabs between devices as well.
The firefox syncing is awesome. FF syncing feels friendly and the Chrome feels like a stranger being 'overly' friendly.
Somehow I'm willing to sell most of the rest of my soul, but not my browsing history.

Yes it does. My 2 laptops and 2 Android phones all use the dame profile. Everything syncs, tabs, passwords, addons...

for the fact that it syncs with my google everything, across all devices, google accounts, etc.
> significantly more people use Safari and Chrome than use Firefox
This is true. Significantly more people use "Safari and Chrome" than "Firefox". However, significantly less people use "Safari" than "Firefox". Chrome is the gorilla, Safari is waaaaaaay back in the pack.
I'm probably going to hate myself for my blase attitude towards security when I inevitably end up on some massive dump of hacked accounts, but I've kind of given up on privacy/security. It's just so convenient to be able to pull up on my phone the tab I had open on my browser when I'm in the kitchen cooking, or whatever.
