How to Import Your Browser Favorites Into Microsoft Edge

Bring your bookmarks from Chrome or Firefox to the new Edge Browser

The new Microsoft Edge browser brings improvements and new features to the default Edge browser that comes with Windows 10. If you've been using Chrome, Firefox, or Opera, copy your bookmarks to the new Edge using the browser's built-in import functionality.

Information in this article applies to the new Microsoft Edge browser released in January 2020.

How to Import Favorites Into Edge

Copying bookmarks from other browsers into Microsoft Edge doesn't remove the bookmarks from the source browser, nor does it interfere with your existing favorites in Edge. To import favorites to Edge:

  1. Open Edge on your computer and select Settings and more ( ... ) in the upper-right corner of the browser.

  4. Select a compatible browser from the list. Select Favorites or bookmarks and other categories of information you want to transfer to Edge and then select Import.

    If a web browser isn't listed, either Edge doesn't support importing bookmarks from that browser, or there are no bookmarks to import.

How to Manage Imported Bookmarks in Edge

The next time you open the Favorites menu, you see all your imported bookmarks. To move imported favorites to the Edge Favorites bar, drag folders or links to the Favorites Bar folder.

If you have the Microsoft Edge app, your new bookmarks automatically become available on your mobile device.
