why should a mobile browser be an adjunct to a more powerful desktop browser

Power is measured in different ways on mobile (unit of power tends to be simplicity of use). In this case, the argument for building other features over this one is that most people do not manage files on a phone and would not even know how to get exported bookmarks from desktop onto iOS filesystem. This just makes this a niche request, but certainly doable, nothing else.

      Brave browser for iOS allows to import/export bookmarks in html. This is a single browser for iOS which have this feature what is very valuable that's why I use Brave. But I also like Orion iOS. So please add the same possibility to import/export bookmarks in html like in Brave.

          Import and export bookmarks in .html format (and just .txt format)
          iOS

          It will be easier and faster for people to switch to Orion browser

            Please consider carefully my request to add possibility of import/export bookmarks in Orion for iOS / android in html.
            I use iOS and as I said Brave browser is the single browser for iOS which have this feature.
            Orion would get profit from this.
            Now I do not use Orion as default because I cannot import my bookmarks as I want (without iCloud).
            If it is on the shoulder please add this feature.

                It’s sad, I would really love to keep using Orion, but without a Mac I have no way of getting to my bookmarks from Firefox on PC or Safari on iOS, therefore it just doesn’t make sense to switch the browser for me. Would be amazing if that feature got added or if there was even some Firefox/chrome-Addon for a workaround.

                  I am so glad to see import/export html bookmark feature in a new 1.3.7 release!
                  But unfortunately export feature is broken. 🙁
                  Export bookmarks simply creates an empty 0 byte html without exporting any bookmarks.
                  Import works well, successfully imported and counted my more than 2 000 links! 🙂
                  I hope a fix in the next release ✊🏻
                  P.S. IMPORTANT. I have assumption why: the export button exist in general bookmarks browser field but not in precise folder where bookmarks are stored. So for the future when you will be fixing the bug, please add an export button for a different precise folder. E.g. I could have a few different folders with bookmarks but I don't want to export them altogether but only one or two of them.

                      But unfortunately export feature is broken.

                      Can you please open a new bug report for this

                          Hello! I recently started using Onion on my iPhone (v.1.3.15). Based on the comments above, it sounds like this feature was released in 1.3.7, but I can't find the option to do this. Is it there or was it removed? Thanks!

                            Never mind...just saw in the docs that this isn't supported for iOS without a Mac apparently.
