Shit like this is exactly why competition is of utmost importance. The internet was never meant to be single-handedly controlled by a corporation with private interests, and more importantly, private pockets

If we don't see a somewhat significant rise in Firefox usage increases after this, then I fear that battle is already lost. People can complain a lot but doing something as easy as switching browsers seems to be the hardest thing for most of them.

I'm not asking this facetiously but: is there an easy way to migrate my bookmarks, tabs, and pinned tabs easily to Firefox? I looked maybe a year ago but didn't find a 1 to 1 easy switch way to go to Firefox.

To be clear: my personal laptop is all Firefox, but I don't use it all the time. My main desktop is an integration of all three (please don't judge), but I'd like to go full Firefox if it was convenient.
