Double upvote for bitwarden, since OP is switched browser, they defenetly need move all their passwords. No need to use built in Firefox manager. Don't forget to use password export from Chrome.

Also browser password manager couldn't be more unsafe...

honestly it's fine if you're generating different passwords for every service and you're just storing the less important ones there for convenience.

Way too easy to get malware and it scans your whole pc for easy to aquire passwords.
If it's safely encrypted, go for it but I suspect it isnt.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

ah nice I was wondering how to do that. got a lot of passwords in chrome

Used to use lastpass before they became paid. I haven't even remembered that until I read your comment. Bitwarden is great.

What's the point if having NoScript AND uBlockOrigin? ubo does everything noscript does, but better

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Whitelisting.

If you have anyone in your house or on your network that is, shall we say, less tech savvy then this effectively shuts them out of some sites.

And for yourself if you happen to make a miss click it shuts out most passive security risks.

The extension is as dumb or smart as you make it. For most of the users on my network it's functionally retarded, but it works fairly well to prevent missclicks and curiosity fuckups for me as well.
