With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

    Just switched over to Firefox like a minute ago. So far, so good. Kinda a bummer to have to manually import my saved passwords.

    Also, how are profiles handled? In Chrome, I had a separate personal and work profile. Is that easily doable in Firefox?

      I know some others have already mentioned it, but this would be a great time to move your passwords to something more secure. I recommend Bitwarden as well. You can import you current passwords fairly easily.

      Saved passwords in browsers are often stored in plain text. I would highly recommend a password manager like BitWarden. Makes transferring them easy and it’s more secure.

      I don’t use separate profiles (which I reckon are analogous to accounts) - but Firefox does have a feature called ‘Container tabs’ where you can isolate a sessions cookies into a container (default ones are labelled things like Shopping, Personal, Work, etc).

      However, I think these are somewhat moot now as I think Firefox handles cookies differently in some way that went over my head - so I’m doing that thing where I post a semi incorrect answer to ensure someone shows up with the correct one.

      Container tabs are infinitely more useful than profiles, and easily one of the best features Firefox offers over other browsers

      you can sync with a firefox account with firefox sync. im sure you could make a personal firefox account and work account to switch between
