I like bitwarden at a high level, but there are tons of things that feel extremely janky with it.

Also for some reason, Firefox keeps complaining that bitwarden is freezing its UI thread.



I'm not in love with LastPass so am curious as to what you don't like about Bitwarden?


It seems to lag on Firefox. Multiple times I've gotten notifications from Firefox Dev that Bitwarden is causing my page to not render (which was true).

Can't change hotkey for auto-fill login form in Firefox.

No Support for standard notes (yet I guess).

UI renders very slowly on FF and has tons of strange inconsistencies.

It definitely has the FEEL of a somewhat younger open source project while LastPass was much more refined.

I'm debating if I should bother learning C# for the sole purpose of trying to fix some of these issues, because it is maddening enough where I actually use Chrome when i do things that require logins.


Thanks. Will probably wait for LastPass to release the firefox plugin for 57 then. Will check Bitwarden again in a few months.


Just to give a second opinion, I have not had any of the issues NikolaeVarius mentioned.

Well that is not quite true actually. In Firefox you can't change the hotkeys but that is more of a Firefox issue as you can't change the hotkeys for any extension. You can in Chrome though.
