Import Vivaldi history to Edge
-
As there's no option in Vivaldi to export the history, and there's no option in Edge to import history from Vivaldi, how is this done?
-
@evivaldi The history file is in your profile path, look it up here:
vivaldi://about
. As to whether the formatting of the file is compatible with Edge you will have to find out yourself. Copy the history file, make a backup of your profile in Edge and then in the profile replace the history file with the Vivaldi one. Restart and hope for the best. Shouldn’t this work out you can simply restore from backup. -
Thanks. How about importing history from Edge to Vivaldi? (It seems like only importing bookmarks is supported.)
-
@evivaldi Try the same thing but the other way around. They’re both Chromium browsers. Let us know whether the method works, there’s no guarantee that it does.
-
I'd like to combine both "history" files into one.
-
@evivaldi I wouldn’t try that. But did migration of the history files work out fine?
-
Yes, the swapping works, but I want to import one history into the other browser.
-
Hi,
It would be an option adding them as Bookmarks.
You could open them after the steps, save the History and delete them.There are some steps involved, mostly like here, with 2 exchanges:
- SQLiteStudio Instead of NotePad++
- History Instead of Typed_History

Go to the ScreenShoot's location, select all URL entries, Copy, and Paste to MultiLinkr.
Or,
Right Click, on Left URL Branch, Export to CSV.Then open the .CSV file with LibreOffice or another.
Copy the URL Data column and continue to MultiLinkr steps on linked Post.
With the CSV you would keep a FileReady to access in needed attempts or consulting / BackUp.Follow the Signature's Backup | Reset link to find out your Profile and the History file.

An easier option would be:
- Create a New V Profile
- Close all V Profiles
- Copy History to be Added on Edge
- Paste it on new V Profile
-- - Open New V Profile
- Install OneTab
- Open all History Links
- Save all Open Tabs with OneTab
- Create a HTML File from OneTab
-- - Open it on Edge
- Open them all
- V History generated
Part of the Steps will be needed on both options.

@Zalex108 Opening all history entries as tabs could be insane, depending on the size of history. If you wanna get complicated you can create an additional Vivaldi profile and copy the Edge history file into it. Then from the “Import Bookmarks and Settings” functionality you can choose Vivaldi and choose the folder of your main profile and import only history. This should combine both history files into one, which you then copy and paste into your Edge profile. No tabs needed.
But keeping history in Sync between both Edge and Vivaldi is a fruitless endeavor. Decide for a browser and stick to it. No point in using multiple Chromium browsers.

That's even easier!!!

I just want to combine them once, after which I'll probably use Edge because Vivaldi's slowness and freezing issue have not been fixed for a long time already.
-
@evivaldi Vivaldi has no slowness or freezing problems here. This is likely something local to your system, and Vivaldi developers can't fix your system
-
@Ayespy other browsers work fine, so apparently it's not my system.
-
@evivaldi Apparently you can’t really let go of Vivaldi, or you wouldn’t be reading these messages. Might be worth trying to clean up your profile ☛ https://help.vivaldi.com/article/full-reset-of-vivaldi/

Actually, not "so apparently". If at least hundreds of thousands of Vivaldi installations don't exhibit slowness or freezing like yours, the odds point overwhelmingly in the direction of something being amiss with your particular system/installation/settings. That's not a personal criticism, just a simple reality of troubleshooting; and it's one reason why other users' confirmation/non-confirmation of a problem in forum threads like these is significant. Given that other browsers (or at least chromium-based ones) are working OK for you points to something misbehaving with the particular Vivaldi installation/settings on your system or something else on that system that's uniquely interfering with it (extensions, anti-malware, etc).

Is there a way to import an HTML history file?
(There's an option to import a favorites/bookmark file, but not history.) -
Why can't Vivaldi make that feature? It's a no-brainer.
-
@evivaldi Which browser has an export history to HTML functionality? As in, why provide an import feature for data that doesn’t exist? Vivaldi Sync has complete history sync, it would be strange offering HTML import all of a sudden. You are of course welcome to make a feature request for it, there’s no harm in that. I don’t think one exists yet.
-
You're right. They should make a import AND export option. It's a no brainer.
