If I want to duplicate a Firefox install, I can horse around with their export to a file feature, and find that it doesn't include something I want exporting (just trying to backup the bookmarks proved to be a pain), or duplicate the entire .mozilla configuration directory, hoping that it's compatible with the other browser (it should be for a duplication to the same browser on the same OS, or slightly newer browser version). I have a number of things that'd like to put my data on their cloud, and only a few that have a way to locally store things. Naturally, you have to pay for many of those things, and none of them are on the same cloud service, either. I've often wondered if I could play with fake DNS records or IP forwarding tricks, and let them think that they're connecting to their hardcoded addresses for its cloud server when its actually connecting to something of my own choosing. We have an OS that's excellent at running servers. Many of us have a 24/7 running Linux machine as a local server. Using it as a dumb client reliant on WWW servers is a waste. -- NB: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted. I will only get to see the messages that are posted to the list.
