I will always shill for Bitwarden and will die on this hill. Free for most features and for $10 a year you get TOTP generation and the integration is so bloody well thought-through. Insane value and two thumbs up (or three, if I move to Fukushima).
Because it’s more secure, and portable. A password manager can fill information on programs and apps as well as the browser. It’s also separate from the browser, so you don’t have a single point of failure. Idk about now, but several years ago when I did use the Chrome password storage, a malicious user could retrieve passwords from the browser as long as they had physical access to the computer.
How would I go about transferring my stored passwords from Chrome to Firefox?
When you first install Firefox, it offers it during the initial setup
Switch to a dedicated password manager - Bitwarden for example.
Then you can try any browser. Firefox definitely wouldn’t be my choice but it is better than Chrome.
What browser would you recommend then?

Cross device, works with biometrics… da bomb.
It’s a good idea to stop storing your passwords in your browser and use a password manager instead.
When your browser is chrome, I totally understand. Otherwise, why?

You can export from Chrome as a CSV file then import to Firefox.
