Transfer the user profile from Opera 12 to Opera Next 15

Jun 8, 2013 08:01 GMT  ·  By

A new Opera Next update has emerged, which includes the possibility to migrate the user data from version 12 to the latest revision.

The procedure consists in copying user profile items such as browsing history, cookies, speed dial items, bookmarks and a few settings (stored passwords and search engine list) to Opera Next.

Bookmarks available in version 12 of the browser can be added via the Bookmark Importer component, accessible from the “More tools” sub-menu on Windows and from the “Window” menu on Mac systems.

Keep in mind that the profile migrating mechanism will overwrite the profile from the previous Next build of the browser.

Additional notable modifications in this release of Opera Next include updating Chromium to the latest beta build (28.0.1500.37), multiple stability and functionality problems as well as performance improvements for the Mac revision. Access this page for the full list of changes.

A Linux version is still not available for Opera Next at the moment.
