Importing Data From Other Browsers ​

Changing to a different browser always involves some tedious steps. In particular, bringing your bookmarks and passwords with you is typically the bare minimum. This help page is intended to make that process smooth, quick, and effortless. The process varies based on the operating system you are using. On macOS, you have more options, and the process is overall easier. On iOS, the only options are importing via HTML and CSV files.
