Is there a simple app that can transfer everything easily? Like my favorites, browsing history and everything, including autofill setting and whatnot? I really just don't want to redo everything and essentially start fresh.

Edit*

Thank you everyone! I've used chrome for so long and the last time I tried fire fox over 13 years ago it didn't auto transfer anything, so I had no idea. And I will look into a 3rd party for password storage.

I'm not super savy with some things, so I don't really know what you mean by "self hosting" but I guess I'll look into that too.

Again thanks! Looks like I will make the switch!

C:/users/user/appdata/local/Google/Chrome/User Data/Default - Web Data file. Copy and paste it to the same directory of your new browser and the autofill data will get transferred. please use a password manager for passwords. I suggest Bitwarden.

Wait, all that valuable data is easily accessible from there!?

Yes use Bitwarden for sure. Its open source and only $10 per year if you don't want to self-host it. If you're a really light user, you might even get away with the free account.

A free account is enough for almost everyone not only really light users.

Anyone not using TOTP is a pretty light user security-wise.

There are other apps you can use for that which are free.

Keepass-xc is good

[-] zerosignal@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

The free version of BW is sufficient for most users. The big draw for the paid version is TOTP

And organizations. My wife and I share passwords.
