I'm surprised Edge doesn't do it by default. The reason I don't use Edge is that it sucked in all my saved passwords from Firefox without my knowing.

Neeka I asked ChatGPT for you.... ChatGPT

I'm aware that Edge has some really cool features, but I need to explore this a bit more. I do hate the idea of losing my bookmarks, but I'm sure there's a way to move them over to Edge, I just don't know how to do it.
