Firefox syncs across devices as well, if you sign up for a Firefox account and enable sync. This works for bookmarks, logins, history, and you can even access remote tabs if you want. It's also easy to send a single page from one device to another.

On desktop, Firefox has an import feature that will pull your bookmarks and logins m other browsers (like Chrome) into your Firefox profile.

Even if you're neck-deep in Google services, Chrome doesn't do anything special.

Yeee I'm using Firefox. It's just difficult to desynch the Google services with all my accounts tied to it I had to one by one change em or even make new accounts entirely.

The worst is the fucking Google authentication app and how it's tied into stuff like Discord...At least I'm out of the Google ouroboros now but it was still intensely painful.

The one that implements the open standard TOTP that has a bunch of open source implementations?

You don't have to use the Google Authentication app for 2FA/MFA.
