How to Import Chrome Bookmarks to Opera Browser

This tutorial will show you how to import chrome bookmarks to opera browser. All major web browsers like Chrome, Opera, Firefox etc. have a Bookmark section where you can store the url (webpage address) of Sites/Webpages you visit often. So that any time you want to browse the specific website you can simply open the bookmarked link instead of typing in the complete web url in the address bar. Opera also have this handy feature and let you create, edit and delete bookmarks in opera using its bookmark manager. Plus if you have the habit of using more than one browser then probably you may want your bookmarks from other browser to be imported to opera.

It's hard to settle for one browser. I generally prefer Opera for general browsing and Chrome for work. So having the same set of bookmarks at both browsers is necessary and saves time. In such case import/export bookmarks comes into play. Say you prefer to switch over from Google Chrome to Opera, then you may want to import bookmarks from chrome to opera. When you download and install opera this will be taken care off. But if you want to do it later then follow the below steps to import chrome bookmarks to opera.
