No provided way to backup bookmarks

Why does Webkit Opera provide no way to backup the bookmarks? Every other browser I have used provided some way to backup bookmarks, but I had to add an extension to Opera to enable that. I think that omission was a serious oversight.

you can copy the "Bookmarks" file located in C:\Users\USER_NAME\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable

If you know how to do backups, you don't depend on every single program to have such feature.

I do backup my profile, but I like to have a separate backup for bookmarks. Every time I change anything in the bookmarks, I want to back them up again, but not necessarily to backup the entire profile.

In case anyone else wants to know where to find the profile in MacOS, the pathname is:
Macintosh HD > Users > [username] > Library > Application Support > com.operasoftware.Opera

And can't you do a separated backup for the Bookmarks file?

What format is the bookmarks file in the profile? It has no extension name. The backup I do is HTML, which can be imported into any browser.

It can be opened in a text editor so I guess it uses some kind of text format.

So you want an export tool and not a backup one.
