Just installed XX 16.04 LTS. Like it!

Opera my fave Browser has well over 100 bookmarks from using 14.04 LTS. Is there an easy way to bring them all over to 16.04 other than by doing them over again one at a time?

Opera has an inbuilt sync feature, would that suffice ?

I'm sure you can also export/import as an html file.

Seen but never used that sync feature.

Also I have 3 drives and 14.04 and 16.04 are on different drives. Will that sync feature work in that case?

Yep, create the sync account on 14.04, let it sync (after choose what you want to sync) and then sign in to the same account in 16.04.

Thanks again howefield!

Just figured it out, gave it a try, let it sync and it worked like a charm. Never did it this way before. Didn't know it was that easy!

Very cool :)

Firefox and Chrome/Chromium have similar sync features, as will other browsers no doubt.
