Plot twist: Bitwarden on desktop is Chromium browser based.

Still can be used in FF as plugin.

Good to know! I've never installed bitwarden desktop and always used the Firefox extension. I just recently found out that Bitwarden has a desktop app. I was thinking of trying it out, until I read your comment. I think I'll just stick with the extension. Thank you for your TED talk.
