Firefox Sync makes sure that even Mozilla can't see your data. Is Google's that careful?

Thanks for pointing this out. Mozilla's double encryption technique on their sync was the "right way to do it", and everything about how Chromium peer pressures and ridicules you into giving them your Google account is mega-creepy.

Chrome (Desktop at least) also supports double-encryption with a user-selected passphrase.
