[QUOTE="Ink, post: 911790, member: 3"] Best to keep Sync turned off, especially if you store passwords within Firefox. Instead, turn on auto-fill in the Android settings for your default password manager app. — Sync data passphrase is only required when installing on a new device. Once loaded, the data will be there. If your device is stolen and phone happens to be unlocked, they can view your past history, extensions, bookmarks etc. — Other mainstream browsers: [LIST] [*]DuckDuckGo Privacy browser [*]Brave browser [*]Focus by Firefox [/LIST] — Android 9 or higher: [LIST] [*]Set up Private DNS with a privacy DNS — good for adblocking [*]Or use VPN with a privacy DNS [/LIST] You do need to go overboard, but if you want to isolate your desktop from your mobile, use different browsers.
