How do I copy all tabs from Safari to Chrome?

Answered by Randy McIntyre

To copy all tabs from Safari to Chrome, you can follow these steps:

1. Open Safari on your Mac and make sure you have all the tabs you want to copy open.

2. In Safari, go to the “File” menu and select “Export as PDF”. Choose a location on your computer to save the PDF file.

3. Open Chrome on your Mac and go to the “File” menu. Select “Import Bookmarks and Settings”.

4. In the Import Bookmarks and Settings window, select “Safari” from the drop-down list of browsers.

5. Check the box next to “Favorites/Bookmarks” and any other settings or data you want to import from Safari. Make sure the box next to “History” is unchecked if you only want to import the tabs and not the browsing history.

6. Click on the “Import” button to start the import process. Chrome will import your Safari bookmarks and settings, including the tabs from the PDF file.

7. After the import is complete, open Chrome’s Bookmark Manager. You can do this by going to the Chrome menu, selecting “Bookmarks”, and then choosing “Bookmark Manager”.

8. In the Bookmark Manager, you should see a folder called “Imported from Safari” or something similar. Open this folder to find all the bookmarks and tabs that were imported from Safari.

9. To open all the tabs in Chrome, you can simply right-click on the folder and choose “Open all bookmarks”. This will open all the tabs in separate tabs in Chrome.

10. You can now use Chrome with all the tabs from Safari.

It’s worth mentioning that sometimes the automatic importer from Safari may not work for iCloud bookmarks. In that case, you can try exporting your Safari bookmarks as an HTML file and then import that file into Chrome. To do this:

1. In Safari, go to the “File” menu and select “Export Bookmarks…”.

2. Choose a location on your computer to save the HTML file.

3. Open Chrome, go to the “Bookmarks” menu, and select “Bookmark Manager”.

4. In the Bookmark Manager, click on the “Organize” button at the top and select “Import bookmarks from HTML file…”.

5. Navigate to the location where you saved the HTML file and select it.

6. Chrome will then import the bookmarks and tabs from the HTML file, and you can follow the previous steps to open all the tabs in Chrome.

I hope this detailed explanation helps you copy all your tabs from Safari to Chrome successfully!
