Stop using Opera Browser and Opera GX

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Actually it's an effective cloud-based password manager that doesn't rely on local storage or weird plugins or backups.
That's what keeps me using chrome. I could lose everything in a house fire, pick up any device, log in and have access to all my stuff without any further action on my part, right out of the box.
That's the only feature I care about, and chrome is the only browser I've seen that provides it.
Get me that in firefox, and I'll switch today.
I have all that functionality today with FF... Not sure when you last checked, but if you create a Mozilla account and log in to FF you can sync all the same stuff as Chrome does.
Checked it out: apparently I had a mozilla account at one point in time. Hit 'forgot password':
Forgot your password: fuck you.
This is the exact fucking opposite of the behaviour I'd ever want from a password manager.
I think that's what most people want in a password manager. The only way to have a truly secure pw manager is to encrypt it and failsafe to delete. That way if your identity gets stolen or email compromised, it limits the damage.
Said another way: if a company offering a password manager can recover all your passwords with you just clicking "forgot password", that means they can read your passwords in plain text (and so can hackers if the company gets hacked).
