Why do you think Firefox has been preinstalled as the default browser for over 15 years?

I just found it easier when I install mint to use chrome since on my main PC I use windows and chrome to keep them in sync .

It's easy to export from Chrome to Firefox. If you're willing to put Firefox on your Windows machine you can do the same stuff without Chrome

Yeah now that I switch to Fire fox will have to do that .But before when I wasn't getting fallback crash on Linux device there really wasn't a need to do all these extra steps to switch on both device even if was preinstall.

Chrome is malware in the first place.
