A. Open Opera GX
First, save your bookmarks in Opera GX as .html, by opening menu, bookmarks, then export bookmarks.
Save your passwrds as .csv by opening opera://settings/passwords then clicking the 3 dots.
B. Open Brave
Import saved Opera GX bookmarks as html @ brave://settings/getStarted
Import your passwords @ brave://settings/passwords?search=pass by clicking the top 3 dots, then import the OperaPasswords.csv file.

# Browser histories
Unless you are using Safari on OSX, most browsers will have some kind of free plugin that you can use to export the browser's history. So that's probably the easiest way. The harder way, which seems to be what Safari wants is a bit more hacky but it will also work for other browsers. Turns out that most of them, including Safari, have their history saved in some kind of [sqlite](https://www.sqlite.org/) database file somewhere in your home directory.
The OSX Finder cheats a little bit and doesn't show us all the files that actually exist on our drive. It tries to protect us from ourselves by hiding some system and application-specific files. You can work around this by either using the terminal (my preferred method) or by using the <kbd>Cmd</kbd>+<kbd>Shft</kbd>+<kbd>G</kbd> in Finder.
Once you locate the file containing the browser's history, copy it to make a backup just in case we screw up.

thank you, though when I did that with brave and exported the brave bookmarks it only exported bookmarks not history or passwords. is there a way I can do that?
Hi
@adewater500 It depends to which browser you are exporting Brave data.
For Firefox , you can import directly from Brave: bookmarks + cookies + passwords + history.
For Opera (bookmarks + cookie s+ password, NO history)
Save Brave bookmarks as HTML file
Save Brave passwords as .CSV file
Import separately bookmarks and passwords to Opera.
For Chrome (bookmarks+cookies+passwords+history)
