Login with Google, Chrome only extension... no thanks.

I didn’t expect that login with Google will confuse people so much as it’s just a popular auth provider. However, thank you for the note, I will take it into account for the future.

Unfortunately, Firefox has issues with WebAuthFlow and I wasn’t able to deliver extension on this stage. Definitely, Firefox extension is a Must and I will work on a workaround to deliver it later on. I hope for your understanding.

Confuse is not the verb you are looking for. Repel is. You should have expected it would repel some people. Then, if it is an issue or not, that, is up to you to decide.

It’s a shame because it looks very interesting. But I’m not going to use chrome nor any of google services if I can avoid it.

We have a local auth now https://boardist.io It will be great to have you onBoard
