Hot Take How to Easily Switch from Chrome to Another Browser Without Losing Bookmarks and Other Settings

[lokamoka820]

If you’re tempted to switch from Chrome to another browser, the thought of losing all your bookmarks and other settings might put you off. Thankfully, today’s major browsers make it easier than ever to switch by importing settings like bookmarks, browser histories, saved passwords, and more from Chrome.

Why Would You Want to Switch from Chrome?​

After liberating us from the dark times of Internet Explorer, Chrome faced little competition in the browser market for many years. Times are changing, though. Competition in the browser market is hotter than ever, and the list of reasons people seek out Chrome alternatives is growing all the time:

• Privacy concerns: Chrome is constantly getting caught up in privacy discussions due to Google’s reliance on user data for its ad business.
• Features: Chrome is one of the most feature-packed browsers on the market, but other browsers–like Edge and Safari–are a little more innovative with unique tools and features.
• Google liberation: If you want to break away from Google everything (Chrome, Google Maps, Gmail, etc.), switching to a new browser is the first thing you should do.
• RAM & CPU usage: Although Chrome’s reputation for RAM and CPU usage is overblown, more resourceful options are available, especially for Windows.
• Security: As the world’s most popular browser, Chrome is also the most targeted browser by cyber criminals–and also the most vulnerable, according to a report from AtlasVPN.
• Diversification: Even if you want to continue using Chrome as your primary browser, it’s often helpful to use multiple browsers for different purposes–including: professional, personal, splitting personal data, using different features, extensions, etc.

Just them discontinuing MV2 support is enough reason to switch.

I am using a completely different solution. I have my bookmarks stored in Floccus using WebDav connected to my Koofr account. I am using a password manager. So basically I own my data and I can switch browsers freely.
