    Chrome browser will let you log in with your Google account which means things like passwords that are saved to your Google account will auto fill

          You have been able to import and export data between browsers for years. This is not an unknown or difficult to access feature.

            I’m a Firefox user and pretty tech savvy and I really didn’t know it was possible to port my passwords from Google password manager into Firefox. In any case I use LastPass as my password manager, but the point is this isn’t common knowledge for the average person and sounds just like an extra step/hassle. Just trying to be devil’s advocate and answer the “why don’t people just switch” question.

              When you install a new browser it is almost always one of the first things you are asked. It’s as simple and easy as a few clicks, which the browser itself guides you through. Let’s not pretend this is some significant hurdle. If people are lazy or stupid, fine, but it’s not a legitimate reason to avoid switching.

        Speaking of Firefox sync, Firefox has this bug when you’re importing your passwords from other browsers, it doesn’t sync to your account. Only your manually inputted logins will be synced.

      Ohhhh, I didn’t even consider that being a deal breaker for some people, but I’m pretty sure Mozilla will let you transfer all your saved passwords from chrome.

        Yes of course it will. I don’t know what rock these people are living under where they think they can’t export/import data between browsers. It’s a basic feature in every major browser.
