Do more on the web, with a fast and secure browser!
Download Opera browser with:
Someone had posted a similar comment in the Windows forum earlier today and it was closed already. Apparently you need an extension to export bookmarks which I find very disappointing. How hard is it to have a function to export to an html or xml (whatever it uses) file?
I just saw someone suggest V7 Bookmarks extension and I tried it.
Wow. That's bad news. Really? There isnt a way to make security copies of my bookmarks without an extension?
It should be under main menu (Opera button in upper left corner)>settings>browser>default browser. There should be a button under where it lists Opera as your default browser. A pop-up window will ask you where to import the bookmarks from. I usually go to the start page to retrieve the imports from there. It's at the bottom of the start page (Speed Dial, Bookmarks, Discover, etc...) with the heart icon. Just click on that and you should see the imported bookmarks button on the left panel. It will show your imports in a folder on that page. This is in the latest version of Opera 30.
I'd like to export them...not to import them. What you have explained is basically how to transfer your bookmarks from Opera to another browser, but I need it for security purposes. I need a backup of them which is an option not given in Opera (v. 33)
I dont seem to be able to find a linux section. So, I'll just ask it here.
My Opera version is 28.0 and I cant export, import bookmarks. Why is that? There is no option to do that. I have downloaded an addon, but it only exports bookmarks...it doesnt import them.
