Location of Bookmarks file?
-
My rooted Pixel 3 phone runs Android 11.
Can anyone point me to the folder where Vivaldi stores it's Bookmarks file?
Also is it named "Bookmarks" as it is on the desktop ver (because I wasn't able to find it on the phone) ?

Ok I answered my own question. The path in Android 11 is:
root/data_mirror/data_ce/null/0/com.vivaldi.browser/app_chrome/default
Since the Android ver of V doesn't allow you to import bookmarks
~~ and ~~
the instructions for Sync are incomplete and inaccurate and as I personally experienced attempting to use Sync you MAY bork the bookmark file on your other device
~~ and ~~
my bookmark file on my desktop machine has 10 gazillion bkmks and I only need maybe 100 on my cellphone so I took the only sensible option that V left for me:(1) build micro bookmarks file on the desktop machine by making a backup copy of bkmk file, deleting 99% of the bkmks, emptying Trash, closing V and copying the micro bkmk file to my phone & then restoring the full bkmk file before restarting the desktop machine.
(2) on the phone it took 3 tries to locate V's Default folder but once I did I just copied the new bkmk file into the folder, overwriting the original file, and now I have the bookmarks I need on my phone.
Of course if your phone isn't rooted then you're stuck with Vivaldi's poorly-considered options.
