Changing a Browser these days can be challenging. You’d have to first find a browser that’ll suit all your needs. My needs in a browser include Lightweight, super fast, nice interface, secure and doesn’t consume too much ram. Of course, there are other things I would obviously need in a Browser but these are just the important ones.
I use to get all these with internet explorer(Now Microsoft Edge) on the then Windows XP and Windows 7. But as time went on internet explorer kinda fizzled out so I moved on to chrome. Till today, I’m still with chrome and I’m glad I made the move. Even with the revamp of the old internet explorer web browser to Microsoft Edge which looks really nice and has a lot of great Features But didn’t make me look back.

However, something has been on my mind for a while now. What if I get a MacBook and decide to move to Another web browser fully? Like Firefox or Safari. This will particularly be tasking for me. Moving things like my bookmarks, settings, default search engine (I only do Google) and Default homepage will be tiring and I most certainly won’t get it done in a week or two. Thanks to the number of websites I have bookmarked.
What about saving passwords? I’ve even forgotten most of them. This got me researching and looking for ways to import not just passwords but settings and other stuff from chrome to safari. My research yielded some results and I will be letting you in on that.
