I agree, but I think that the normies like to use Chrome because... that's what everyone is using, so I am eager to see how FF can give a better experience to the normal user.

Normies (also me) use Gmail, it's easy when you login to your browser and you're partially already authenticated everywhere else.

Same goes for android.

it’s easy when you login to your browser and you’re ~~partially already authenticated~~ automatically sending your personal, private information everywhere else.

FTFY

You're correct, but the majority of normies don't care. A lot of people don't naturally feel a strong impulse towards privacy, so the fact that Google knows everything about them doesn't really bother them.
