Believe it or not, this feature is actually coming in the next browser update (it’s in Beta right now)

## 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

## Description Bookmark import/export on Android is one of the most frequently requested feature that is missing. This is to bridge feature between desktop and mobile. It would be good to have this feature done for the first release or on the second. Having this feature allows users to export bookmarks and reinstall brave if they wish to. ## Miscellaneous Information: cc: @anthonypkeane @brave/android @bridiver
