Importing bookmarks

Microsoft Edge is the new default web browser in Windows 10 operating system. Its elegant user interface, ability to save and manage web passwords, ability to make notes on webpages, reading view, reading list, and the page loading speed make it one of the best web browsers around.For all these years if you were using Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or Microsoft’s own Internet Explorer as your default web browser and now planning to use Microsoft Edge as your default browser, you might want to know if it’s possible to import bookmarks (also known as favorites) from other browsers like Chrome and Firefox into Microsoft Edge.Just like any other web browser out there for Windows, the Edge browser also supports importing bookmarks or favorites into it. While it doesn’t support importing bookmarks from a file, you can import bookmarks from Chrome, Firefox, or Internet Explorer installation.In simple words, unlike Firefox or Chrome, it doesn’t support importing bookmarks from an HTML file, but it can import bookmarks from Firefox or Chrome browser installation. That said, there is an easy workaround to overcome this problem as well.To import bookmarks in the Edge browser, complete the given below instructions.Method 1: Import bookmarks from another browserMethod 2: Import bookmarks from an HTML fileMethod 1 of 2Import bookmarks into Edge from another browserNOTE: Importing bookmarks/favorites from another browser also imports browsing history, cookies, passwords, and settings into the Edge browser. There is no option out there to select only favorites/bookmarks while importing from a web browser.

August 12, 2021, 5:44pm 1 Hello everyone! I do not know how to import data from Microsoft Edge into Brave, can someone help me? Thanks! @Kristian,Thanks for reaching out.In Brave, open the Menu, then go to Bookmarks --> Import bookmarks and Settings and select Edge in the resulting window you. Select what data to import and you should be good to go. Documentation on this can be found here: Kristian August 12, 2021, 5:47pm 4 Hi! Here is a problem though. When I go to import data, there is no Edge option, maybe Edge was not added to be able to import data into Brave? Or is it just a bug? Mattches August 12, 2021, 5:48pm 5 @Kristian,So it looks like you can only import Bookmarks/Favorites from Edge. But regardless, you should still see the option appear in the Import bookmarks and settings dropdown box. Mattches August 12, 2021, 5:50pm 6 @Kristian,I’d like to look into/ask around about the issue of Edge not appearing. Alternatively you can export your data from Edge (at least your Passwords and Bookmarks) and then manually import them into Brave.For exporting bookmarks:Menu --> Bookmarks --> Bookmarks manager --> More options (three dots icon) --> Export(importing the bookmarks can be done using the same path)For exporting passwords:Menu --> Settings --> Additional --> Autofill --> Passwords --> More options --> Export(importing the passwords can be done using the same path) Kristian August 12, 2021, 5:53pm 7 Can you please send me an image? I cannot see where it is. Kristian August 12, 2021, 5:59pm 8 Hello? Are you there? For importing Passwords:For importing Bookmarks:To export this data from Edge, see the following MS Edge documentation:Export bookmarks from edgeExport Passwords from Edge: Kristian August 12, 2021, 6:03pm 10 Thank you so much!

Last edited by admin For the moment, the Bookmark Importer is made for importing only bookmarks in Opera Presto (the old Opera) (latest version of it is Opera 12.17). Now We are currently at Opera 22. My understanding is that Opera is working on making the Bookmarks Importer work with 3rd Party Browsers, like Firefox. I know it was initially being worked on for Opera 23, but at this point, I don't know whether that will be implemented in Opera 23 or later.So, the only way to get Firefox bookmarks into Opera at this moment is to piggyback on Opera 12.17 -- that is, get the Firefox bookmarks into that browser, and then to use the Bookmarks importer in Opera 22. If you're going to do that, I would suggest completely uninstalling Opera 22, and then installing Opera 12.17 first. Once using Opera 12.17, click on File, Import and Export, and then, Import Firefox Bookmarks. After you import Firefox Bookmarks into Opera 12.17, then re-install Opera 22. Hopefully at that point the Bookmarks Importer will not be greyed out. Because the Importer has been on occasion a bit tempermental, here's a thread that gives suggestions. Leocg's comment in the thread is important, and it is based on that comment that I suggest completely uninstalling Opera 22 first, and then installing Opera 12.17 (to accomplish the importing of bookmarks from Firefox). in Opera 22 (after the reinstallation), remember to activate the Personal Bookmarks Bar. Go Ctrl P (settings), and put a check in Show the Bookmarks Bar. And of course, click on the Opera Menu, More Tools, and the Bookmarks Importer.
