    Mainly to make it easier to import my user data (including passwords and such) and extension data.

        Including passwords? Because it’d be a pain to have to keep Brave around just because it’s where I stored my passwords. And the last time I switched browsers (from Chrome to Brave years ago), there was an issue where all my imported passwords were blank. The solution was to export/ import them using the tool in Chromium’s password settings page, which I assume Firefox doesn’t have.

          I’d recommend just storing passwords separately from your browser. Bitwarden is such an awesome tool and the free version takes care of everything most people would need. You can even self-host it!

      If you are looking for the most absolute comfort-zone, firefox is not ideal, but it can import bookmarks, passwords and history from any browser. to sync, just create a firefox account and log into it on each device.
