      I find that Opera, whether it's a bug or doesn't want me to switch browsers, somehow isn't an option when I go to the "Import from Another Browser" window in about every browser that I try (namely, Firefox, Edge, Chrome and Brave). I'm thinking of switching browsers (don't hate me for disliking the many bugs I come across in Opera), but this problem has been bugging me for quite a while. I'm aware that I can export bookmarks and passwords through other means. Still, I find it too convenient that other browsers allow me to import data from all my other browsers, including ones I had already deleted a long time ago, yet, somehow Opera isn't showing up in any of them. It'd be much appreciated if someone could help me fix or at least provide an explanation for this.

        @justabrowser58 And what the other browsers say about not having Opera in their import tool?

          Hi, sorry for the late reply.
          From what I read from multiple forums, it only says that I have to manually export from Opera and then import to the other browsers, but none of them gives a reason why it is so when other browsers usually work.
          I find it a hassle to have to do it manually, and I apologise if my post was a little "aggressive", as I was pretty annoyed and angry at both the bugs and this import problem at that time.
