This is a welcome change, but took waaay too long. I switched to Bitwarden a long time ago and have no plans on changing now.

Same, but honestly using a separate tool than your browser is the way to go anyway.

It's about damn time. I hope this is true across all OSs. Dashlane is one of the biggest holdouts on supporting YubiKey on Firefox Linux because Firefox didn't support biometrics.
