Settings export/import

[natewind]

Please consider adding the option to export settings to / import from JSON (or something else).

You mean extension settings? I would like to know more about your specific use case. Note that the extension synchronizes your settings across all of your devices where you have logged into your browser and enabled the sync feature.

Well, using sync makes you unnecessarily dependent on third-party servers, so I back up my browser settings myself, just like the rest of my settings:

/media/Data/07. Settings/2. Ubuntu/vivaldi
├── backups
│   ├── clear-urls.json
│   ├── search.json
│   ├── theme.zip
│   └── user-js-css.json
├── home.natewind..config.vivaldi.Default
│   ├── AdBlockState
│   ├── Bookmarks
│   ├── contextmenu.json
│   ├── Preferences
│   └── UserCSS
│       └── styles.css
├── opt.vivaldi.extensions
│   ├── bkhdlfmkaenamnlbpdfplekldlnghchp.json
│   ├── ckkdlimhmcjmikdlpkmbgfkaikojcbjk.json
│   ├── lckanjgmijmafbedllaakclkaicjfmnk.json
│   └── nbhcbdghjpllgmfilhnhkllmkecfmpld.json
└── settings.md

And I’m trying to minimize the manual stuff in settings.md. Thankfully, many extensiongs these days have export/import, like ClearURLs and User JS & CSS above, but not all of them, unfortunately.

That makes sense, though note that even if there was an import/export options you would still have to refresh your origins (if you had any), but other than that exporting the Markdown Viewer settings won't be that hard, thanks for the suggestion.
