[Feature request] save and restore bookmarks #98

Open vcxy opened 4 years ago

vcxy commented 4 years ago

Since I often work with different smartphones or buy a new device, it would be nice to have a function to save the bookmarks and restore them to new devices.

Or can I save the bookmarks file without root rights and restore it to another device? If so, how do I find this file?

And increase the maximum count of bookmarks, please. 100 is too small. It would be great if this limit could be changed in the settings.

Sorry to intrude. Why backup functions should be implemented in every app? Isn't it better to use backup apps for that?

Backup apps only work on rooted devices, AFAIK. I don't wanna root my phone just so I can keep my bookmarks.

Technically, no. It's possible to backup using "Developer options" + adb. Also Google framework does backup to the cloud but I don't know details of that.
