    iCloud passwords in third-party browsers?

    My prefered browser on iOS is Chrome and it's Firefox on macOS. As far as I remember, iOS does sync passwords used in Chrome to iCloud but is there a way to access those on macOS when using Firefox? Preferably without turning on either Chrome or Firefox Sync. Thanks!

    Hi, Recently Firefox got deleted from my Mac. It is important to me because it contains a wealth of bookmarks I use regularly. I tried to download it again but this was not accepted by Mac. But the Mac Store does not offer Firefox. Is there a solution to this conundrum? Thank you.

I prefer not to use Chrome for a myriad of reasons (I use it at work, that's about it). I love Firefox but I can't make it my preferred browser on iOS. Edge, not sure yet. What...

    Safari CPU usage

    This isn't a complaint, but rather me scratching my head at Chrome and Firefox.
