It works pretty well... it's not perfect. It's legit. Quite easy to follow the instructions.

Sky Follower Bridge:

If you've decided, like many others, that it's time to leave X behind, you don't have to leave your entire social circle. That's where the Sky Follower Bridge extension comes in handy. This tool allows you to migrate your followers, followings, and even your block list from X to Bluesky, making the transition relatively seamless.

This article has links to get it for Chrome, Firefox and Microsoft Edge:
