02 Nov 08 Google Chrome – Importing Settings from Internet Explorer and Firefox

By default, Google Chrome copies your browsing history, saved websites, and passwords from your default browser when it installs.

Currently, you can only import settings from Firefox or Internet Explorer. To manually import information from these browsers, follow these steps:

1. Close any other browsers that you’re running.
2. Open Google Chrome.
3. Click the Tools menu .
4. Select Import bookmarks & settings.
5. Select the browser from which you’d like to import data from the drop-down menu at the top.
6. Deselect the items that you don’t want to import:
   • ‘Favorites/Bookmarks’: Webpages you’ve saved in the selected browser.
   • ‘Search engines’: Alternative search options that you’ve saved in the selected browser.
   • ‘Saved passwords’: Passwords stored in the browser you’ve chosen for websites you’ve visited.
   • ‘Browsing history’: A list of all the websites you’ve visited while using the selected browser.
7. Click the Import button.

Importing information into Google Chrome doesn’t remove the information from the other browsers.
