How to transfer all settings from Yandex Browser to another Chromium browser?

Question

Chromium

Hello!

Tell me, please, is there a way to transfer all the settings from Yasha? Those. passwords. bookmarks and their location, add-ons, etc. At the same time, Yandex itself quite correctly pulls all this from Chrome during installation, but does not allow it to be done with itself ...

The fact is that other browsers (Chrome) When requesting the transfer of settings, Yandex Browser is not found (apparently it was closed by the developers). Vivaldi finds passwords and bookmarks, but transfers everything somehow crookedly and only bookmarks.

Maybe there is some utility?

Answer 1

All browser settings are essentially stored in one or two files, and other data (passwords, bookmarks, add-ons, etc.) are stored in one folder. All of this can be moved by hand. The profile locations of the Yandex browser and other chromium clones are known and typical. For example, the Yandex browser profile is located in the following location (of course, for modern versions of Windows):
%localappdata%\Yandex\YandexBrowser\User Data\Default
Chrome profile:
%localappdata%\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\
Chromium profile:
%localappdata%\Chromium\User Data\Default\
In the profile folder itself, the location of the main profile files (without extensions):
Bookmarks
Cookies
Current Session
Current Tab
Extension Cookies
History
Preferences
Visited Links
Web Data
As you can see, extensions are stored in the \Extensions subfolder. All this can be simply copied. Yandex Disk has some specific profile files, but they are obviously not useful for transferring to other browsers.

There is a BrowserBackup Pro utility. The author abandoned it, leaving the latest version 9.0.0.0 free for everyone, it is a little outdated, not adapted for convenient work with the Yandex browser, but it can perform the main backup function. There you can manually specify the folders where you want to save the profile and where you want to restore it (for this it is most convenient to choose in this Chromium program), although this is not much different from manually copying individual profile files. This program simply archives the copied files and folders into a 7-Zip archive with its own .bbf extension. For example, if I specify to take a backup copy from the %localappdata%\Yandex\YandexBrowser\User Data\Default\ folder (and additionally, the application folder %localappdata%\Yandex\YandexBrowser\Application\ is specified there),
If it is not clear what %localappdata% is, I recommend that you familiarize yourself with the WIndows environment (environment) variables.

Install the LASTPASS extension and use the browser as usual. During authorization, the extension will ask if you need to save the password - confirm in each case. Thus, most passwords will eventually migrate to your LASTPASS account. Then install any browser and enable this extension. Voila - you have almost all the passwords (depending on the time you use the extension). And if there is no password, open the browser and add the password to the service, or copy it manually.

If synchronization is enabled in the browser, then no problem. We transfer mail data to brave, for example, and turn on synchronization. All settings will jump automatically.

To transfer passwords to Google Chrome from YandexBrowser, you need to:
1) In YandexBrowser, go to the "passwords" item and export to a text file.
2) In Google Chrome, go to the "passwords" item and click "Google Account".
3) Click on the gear (it will be on the top right).
4) Click: "import".
5) Select the file that we received from YandexBrowser.
Everything!)
