Bookmark Sharing Request

A Former User

About 3 years ago, Opera had a wonderful Bookmark Sharing feature, enabling a user to checkmark selected bookmarks, click on a "Share" button, and get a URL to send to another user. The other user only had to click on the received URL to have the bookmark(s) added to his/her Opera browser, and the bookmark(s) looked identical to the one(s) sent by the the original user! I loved this feature, and used it to send selected to bookmarks to friends who used Opera, and it worked great.

I've missed this feature since it was removed, and have been following forum posts over the past few years to see if anything like it had been added to the extensions. I see that in the Chrome Web Store there is an extension called TeamSync Bookmarks, and I am currently testing that extension.

But it would be great if Opera itself could add back that convenient feature that was working great, and was unfortunately removed! Please, consider it!

Thanks!

Removed is probably the wrong word - I'll presume it was a feature in Presto which means it was simply never recreated after they went to Chromium.

@sgunhouse This feature was in the Chromium based Opera, not the old Opera Presto browser. It was pretty slick; I did not have much use for it myself, though.

Actually that option were in both, Presto (as a Unite service) and Blink (in around version 20/26, I think).

Useful and powerful, now a workaround would be OneTab.
