Is it safe to store passwords in chrome?
The only strong permission boundary for your password storage is the OS user account. So, Chrome uses whatever encrypted storage the system provides to keep your passwords safe for a locked account.

Which is better Firefox or Safari to save passwords?
Clearly, Safari has the edge here, only because it requires the use of a password to view stored credentials. If Firefox-stored credentials are locked by a Master Password, it puts the Mozilla browser on similar ground. As far as Chrome is concerned, your saved passwords are there for all to see, unfettered and unprotected.

Is there a way to import chrome passwords into Safar?
Open Safari and choose File > Import Bookmarks. Select the HTML file you created, and then click Import (on Windows computers click Open). Thanks, but your solution imports bookmarks, but not passwords. This is not what I asked for.
