Mainly to make it easier to import my user data (including passwords and such) and extension data.
Firefox can import from Chrome profile.
Including passwords? Because it'd be a pain to have to keep Brave around just because it's where I stored my passwords. And the last time I switched browsers (from Chrome to Brave years ago), there was an issue where all my imported passwords were blank. The solution was to export/ import them using the tool in Chromium's password settings page, which I assume Firefox doesn't have.
Why the hell are you storing passwords in a browser only!?!
