I've cancelled my subscription yesterday, conveniently it was about to renew at the end of the week, so I have a few days to migrate from Proton, here's what I'm thinking of, but I'd love to hear what other people are switching to

Does keepass have a reputable browser extension or is the application itself all that's used? I think that's what moved me off Keepass initially after using it for like six years and then moving to BitWarden a few years ago

I'm not sure what you mean by reputable, but I've been using the official KeePassXC extension.

I assume the point of the extension is to have support for autofill, if that is the case, you should be aware that it is generally a bad idea to give your browser access to that info directly since they are the definition of internet connected apps. What I do instead of autofill with keepassxc is open the vault and press the copy to clipboard buttons which works essentially the same way as autofill just with a couple more clicks.

When you use an extension for that task it also validades the URL, which helps to not type by accident your credentials in a fake website.

This actually saved me once when a Google result was literally a phishing version of GitHub.
