Import and export bookmarks
-
I read the blog post that says that it isn't possible to export/import bookmarks. But if you check Cromite browser you can do it. As Cromite is open source, maybe Vivaldi can extract this feature.

Please just implement a save out to a
DOCTYPE NETSCAPE-Bookmark-file
saving out bookmarks as html has been part of browsers since netscape the format is still used today, (certainly by firefox and chrome)
There's no reason the mobile browser can't just save out a html file.
This would be an incredible win for data portability. -
@mib2berlin said in Import and export bookmarks:
You cant export bookmarks from Vivaldi for Android, except the phone is rooted maybe.
Yep.
Yes, by rooting or using document provider on non-rooted devices we can easily backup and restore Bookmarks files. No problem.
However, to convert a file from Vivaldi format to the common html format we will have to use either a script or do it manually.That is, this function (import/export) is quite realizable on all devices and already now, if the user makes a little effort.
Will do 5% of the work.

It's August 2024, still no import of bookmarks on Android.
I would help me a lot to have this. Vivaldi is my favorite browser. I am so disappointed!

@jhubele Why do you need to import? Why not merely sync?

@Ayespy
Thank you for your quick response.
I do want to import only a subset of my bookmarks to my tablet. It's a manually curated list.
I do not need and I do not want to sync back to origin ever.I must admit I am also cautious with sync functions in general. Without a recovery option for deleted or overridden data I would not use it.
Thanks.

@jhubele Since we can't import/export bookmarks to Android yet, sync is the available option.
I have enough confidence in Vivaldi sync that if I were in your shoes, I would sync my Android device with my primary, then turn off sync for Android and pare the list down to what I wanted on the Android device. It's a lot of work, but it's what I would do.

This feature would be very useful to have as it would offer a workaround to sync. Currently sync has not been working for 6 days :
Thanks

@Ayespy This sounds so rude to me, it's not of your business why the user needs to export/import. We have the right to access our data, and you (as a brand) should provide the options for it. Currently I CAN'T ACCESS MY DATA after an OS reinstallation, and having my data on vivaldi mobile doesn't help at all.
All I know is I can't do manual export on mobile because you ARE FORCING THE USERS to use the sync and refuse to implement a manual export/import option. There you have your "confidence" in Sync.

We need export, sync is not working anymore.
