## Description _This issue was originally created a couple years ago (#150) but I felt requires a bit of a bump and update given how frequently it's requested._ **Many users are "blocked" from switching over to Brave due to the inability to import their browsing data** (any/call data, but primary concern seems to be bookmarks) **into Brave from another browser.** Many users have several years worth of [bookmarks] saved (a la @rebron's 2000+ bookmarks from 2011 - present!) and manually re-entering/saving all this data is unrealistic. **This option allows users to try/switch over to Brave without having to sacrifice their data** - which, after import, can now be Synced across all their devices. **The ability to export bookmarks/browsing data also solves the issue of "backing up" your data as well** - something Brave Sync doesn't offer. This is _particularly_ relevant when un/re-installing the app: - If Brave is uninstalled, all associated data is cleared along with it. This can be frustrating for users who have important [bookmarks, passwords, etc] saved to Brave but either had to or tried (unknowingly) uninstalling the app to fix an issue, change devices, or any other relevant reason. - Giving users the option to export their data to an HTML file (most likely) **ensures that their data is not lost should they need or want to uninstall or move the app on their device.** ### Additional Notes Just for frame of reference - _Several_ popular web browsers already offer this option, including - Firefox - Vivaldi - Opera - Kiwi - And even Dolphin
