Importing browser data on Android #7

Description

Browsing information like history, bookmarked sites, and cookies isn’t accessible to third-party browsers on Android. This data is kept within a web browser application’s data directory, which isn’t directly accessible to third-party browsers, and there’s no API or ContentProvider to enable it to be imported. While this is sensitive data, similar import functionality is possible on all major desktop platforms, and Android is able to mediate access to other sensitive data with user consent. Not being able to import data creates significant friction to change from Chrome - a user should be allowed to bring their data with them to another browser.
