I have absolutely zero interest in using a browser that is locked to a single platform. I move constantly between Windows and Linux (I don't have any Mac machines right now) and the idea of using a different browser on each platform seems crazy.

I'm kind of in a same boat with switching (and I use an Android phone) but I use OSX primarily - still using Safari on MBP is a noticeably better experience than chrome or FF - fan noise alone is worth the switch.

Agree. The beauty/power of the browser is to create a layer over the OS (Windows/Mac/Android) so that you don't need to care much about the OS.

FWIW, iCloud syncs quite well with Firefox on Windows.

is the idea here that my browsing state is synced, but I switch browsers? No, not what I want.
