For me: because Chrome is the only browser with worry-free sync.

Firefox's sync for example doesn't sync extension settings, search engines and it fails on Android multiple times per day, with the only solution to logout and login again.

Chrome for Android doesn't support extensions at all, so I'm a bit confused as to how that's a better experience for you.

It's not a difficult puzzle: I find an always working and worry-free sync of open tabs more important than having extensions on mobile. I'd like to have those too, but right now I have to choose.

Huh, I use FF sync across multiple devices and with extensions, on android etc... never had that issue, my only hitch can be the sync can take a bit for passwords and can't be manually initiated as far as i can tell. Might be the extensions you are using or how cookies are being handled perhaps?

Vivaldi sync works like clockwork for me across Windows/Linux/Mac/iOS/Android after their last major update in this department.

I loved Vivaldi's configurability. But it's sync is slightly moody as well. It can fail for a while. Though it is better than Firefox's in that it fixes itself.

But Vivaldi doesn't support bookmarklets and I use those a lot.

They have completely redone their sync implementation a couple of months ago, which seems to have fixed all the lingering issues (and also added E2EE, which I consider the bare minimum in any case).
