... Looks like it's time to switch browsers again. Anyone got any suggestions? Preferably a Chromium-based privacy-focused browser without any crypto-related bells and whistles. And it has to be able to sync between Android and desktop.
Why the hell are you insisting on chromium? It's such a bad idea to throw all our eggs in one basket.
Mainly to make it easier to import my user data (including passwords and such) and extension data.
Firefox can import from Chrome profile.
Including passwords? Because it'd be a pain to have to keep Brave around just because it's where I stored my passwords. And the last time I switched browsers (from Chrome to Brave years ago), there was an issue where all my imported passwords were blank. The solution was to export/ import them using the tool in Chromium's password settings page, which I assume Firefox doesn't have.
I'd recommend just storing passwords separately from your browser. Bitwarden is such an awesome tool and the free version takes care of everything most people would need. You can even self-host it!
Use bitwarden for passwords. It doesn't matter what browser you use.
Why the hell are you storing passwords in a browser only!?!
