      I have been a Chrome user for over a decade and in that time I have daily driven 4 different chrome profiles with various different bookmarks and password sets. I managed to get one of my profiles imported with most of my passwords transferring over. I found a post on here telling me to export a .csv file from chrome with the other profiles password sets, though since chrome switched to the google password manager that option does not seem to be possible anymore. Ideally I would like to combine these 4 chrome profiles into one opera profile with all the bookmarks and passwords combined. I have multiple accounts for some websites so multi autofill options are essential (don't know if this is possible with opera like it was with chrome).

      Any and all suggestions/tips/tricks are appreciated.

        For passwords, you can goto the URL chrome://password-manager/settings in both Chrome and Opera. Click "Download file" in Chrome and "Select file" in Opera.

          For bookmarks, you can goto the URL chrome://bookmarks in Chrome, click the 3 dots at the top right and export your bookmarks to an HTML file. Then, in Opera, you can goto the URL opera://settings/importData, select "Bookmarks HTML file" in the drop-down and import the HTML file. You can do this for each HTML file you produce.

          Once imported, you can goto the URL opera://bookmarks and move the imported bookmarks from the bookmarks bar to where you want if needed.

            Note that if you want to have multiple profiles for Opera GX, you can goto the URL opera://settings/side-profiles-settings and create extra ones. You can also do it the Chromium command-line way instead if you want.
