Of course, Firefox also encrypts passwords but additionally those
encrypted passwords can be shared with my Firefox installed on other
operating systems including Android.

I did use Chromium for about two months this year. I've switched back
to Firefox as it better supports having large numbers of tabs and I
believe Firefox's AwesomeBar is far more useful than Chromium's
Omnibar. By far more useful, I mean Firefox will show results from my
browsing history but Chromium assumes I want to search Google instead
and won't even show me some history results unless I visit those sites
a lot more or bookmark them.
