For most user data, install rsync under termux and upload the relevant directories to a server or even to the new phone across your LAN. For apps, just reinstall the ones you actually use.
Browser bookmarks and passwords are kind of difficult unless you enroll a firefox account and I'm resisting that on principle. I don't have a huge number of them so I've just kept the old phone around and have been recreating bookmarks and re-entering passwords as needed. If I really wanted to do it in bulk there are messy technical ways (basically run your own version of firefox.com on a server) that I haven't pursued. Rooting the phone is another option.
The 2FA app on my old phone poses a more serious problem since there is no way to extract the data from it without rooting the phone (I might try that), and there aren't TOTP apps on F-droid that I like at the moment. I think my first Android project might be adapting one of the existing f-droid ones to do the right things.
