Importing bookmarks and passwords

Bring in bookmarks, history and passwords from other browsers or an HTML file, without touching the original.

The most tedious part of switching browsers is moving bookmarks. Import reads the data of installed browsers and copies it, leaving the original untouched and letting you stop at any time.

What can be imported

Bookmarks and the bookmark bar, browsing history, saved passwords, search engines and homepage settings. Viewing imported passwords requires verifying your system identity.

  • Bookmarks and bookmark bar (with folder structure)
  • Browsing history
  • Saved site passwords
  • Search engine and homepage settings

Two ways to import

Either let it detect installed browsers and import directly, or import from an HTML file — useful when migrating from a backup or another machine.

  • Automatic detection of installed browsers
  • Import from an HTML bookmark file
  • Import passwords from a CSV file
  • Imported items are tagged with their source

Tidying up afterwards

Imported bookmarks land in a separate "imported" folder. Once you have checked them you can merge them into the bookmark bar, or move and deduplicate in the bookmark manager.

  • Imported content goes to the "imported" folder
  • Batch move in the bookmark manager
  • Find duplicate bookmarks
  • Import can be undone

FAQ

Will imported passwords work?

Yes. After import you can view and autofill them; viewing the plain text requires verifying your system identity.

How do I migrate from another computer?

Export bookmarks as HTML in the old browser, copy the file over, then choose "import from HTML file" in Sogou Browser.
