      I am in the process of reinstalling windows and im wondering if theres any way to save the data my browser is storing such as autofill queries, saved passwords and settings in general. The only thing making this harder is that i dont have access to my old opera gx itself, just the files (my windows corrupted itself beyond repair). So, Is there a way to get these files/data out of it before i reset my sytem?

        @Leopolligon As said, create a copy of the content of profile directory, export your passwords and bookmarks, enable synchronisation.

          both bookmarks and passwords can be exported to a file. That file can then be imported to another pc. transfer it with a flash drive or something. I'd not recommend emailing it to yourself.
          once on the new system you can simply import it. Those files can also be imported to other browsers as well. the process is identical just maybe different menu locations to do it.

          in Opera, click Menu, down to bookmarks then on the flyout click import/ export depending on your needs.
          passwords is somewhat similar. Open the password manager. on the left click settings then import or export based on your needs.

          sorry the reply took so long, I just joined this forum and im under a 10 minute wait between posts.
