bitwarden, which i use every day, integrates with firefox and can generate passwords for you pretty easily, but probably not as directly as firefox will. but it can integrate with apps so you dont have to open firefox to retrieve your passwords. bitwarden has stronger encryption but firefox is probably fine for general use.

historically there has been some security issues https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/firefox-master-password-system-has-been-poorly-secured-for-the-past-9-years/ but it seems like the consensus today is that FF password manager is fine as long as you have a good master password and two-factor authentication on your account.

My current city has been voted best tasting tap water in the state three times in a row!!! I love it!!!

I used to live in PA's coal region and basically all water sources nearby were turbo polluted and the stuff was full of contaminants. It has made me really thankful and appreciative for water treatment and wastewater processing. Ours had lots of issues but we really were living in a wasteland of badly polluted water sources and of course rainwater is super unsafe to drink too. It was effctively desert if we didnt have that processing - made me feel bad for the other creatures living there having to drink it :(

But! Wastewater trearment is also accomplished by bacteria in many places and that makes me really happy! They can process so many dangerous chemicals, the little dears!

I'm lucky to live in a city with a large natural aquifer, so our tap water is very clean. But there are still people here who will balk at drinking tap water, and only buy bottles of water. Meanwhile, I will only open a plastic bottle of water if I'm dangerously dehydrated, and there are no other sources of water available. I'll drink from a public bathroom sink before I create needless plastic waste.
