@Zalex108 -- For completeness, you could also mention This Script Copies Description, Separators, etc. from HTML to Existing Vivaldi Bookmarks. It can be used to restore bookmarks in two steps. First, run Vivaldi's Import Bookmarks HTML File to import the folders, bookmarks, URLs, and favicons. Second, run the script to copy the remaining bookmark properties to the Imported bookmark folder.

Currently neither script handles thumbnails, but I could add them without much trouble if there is any interest.

@GJS

Good!

This information seems to be better to include it in the Top of your Mod's Topic to give a "short" description on what and how.

If you can still edit it, add it, if not we will do it.
Will be better there than here, despite I'll add some more info.

[GJS]

@Zalex108 -- The information about two-step import is already mentioned in the first paragraph, and summarized further down. I can add a link from one to the other, and add a note about thumbnails.

[Zalex108]

@GJS
About the Thumbnails,
Can't speak. They are locally stored here, the others are from online sites that are auto rebuild.

So for me isn't necessary.

@GJS

Just seen the Export options not the Import and the 2 steps to full import, that would be the needed part.

@zalex108 V should now support extension chrome.storage.sync API

[Zalex108]

@code3

[code3]

@zalex108 Sorry, if extension settings are not syncing it is the extension’s fault. The developer has used local storage not sync storage. In that case they should have provided their own way to import and export backups. Try Trace or ScriptSafe browser extensions, the settings should sync.

[Zalex108]

@code3

Being possible, they should do it in all of them.

[code3]

@zalex108 Well, if you have an extension not syncing, you should task the extension creator.

[Zalex108]

@code3

Not sure since I Sync and Copy Profile files.
I would check in the Future.

The best idea for backing up Vivaldi is to backup the whole profile.

[DoctorG]

@Streptococcus Depends on OS which is important to get a backup.

[Zalex108]

@Streptococcus

Sure,
Anyway, you may need to export small/individual things like Flags, WebPanels or some other.

Here can be find where they are located.
