It is essential to stop using Chrome. Under the pretense of saving users from third-party spyware, Google is creating an ecosystem in which Chrome itself is the spyware. (mastodon.world)

what about those useful Google logins tied to everything now? Good luck with that.

What? You can still use your Google account without Chrome...

Unless you're not talking about OAuth. Is it Chrome's password manager? Because I'm pretty sure that's easily exportable...

That's exactly the issue I mean. I wanted to not just move away from Google and Google Chrome

I wanted to move away from the entire Google ecosystem including the accounts

You still didn't make it any more clear exactly what you're talking about.

If you're talking about the Chrome password manager. Bitwarden is a cross platform password manager that works practically everywhere. Export your Chrome saved logins, import them into bitwarden, change browsers every week if you want to. Run several at the same time even. They'll all have access to the same saved passwords and logins.

If you're talking about OAuth. I don't actually use it, but I'm fairly sure it's browser independent.
