Exporting Safari bookmarks to DuckDuckGo on ipad

Nice screenshots but the screen and options on iPad look completely different. For a start, there is no menu at the top where the File option is.

I dont think you ever will see that toolbar on an iPhone or iPad - Those instructions only work on a Mac or Mac mini. Folks on this Apple forum never seem to recognize the difference.

Fortunately I’m logged into the iCloud and share everything across all my devices. I was able to save the bookmarks to a file on my iCloud drive using my Mac mini per the instructions. Then I was able to open DuckDuckGo on my iPad and import the password file using the Bookmark icon, then More.

Having the same problem. Sure, one could copy and paste favorite links one by one, but the point of the "import bookmarks and favorites" function of DdG should be to do ALL of them at once. I have more than 100 bookmarked pages that I refer to often.

The problem is that the DdG browser doesn't recognize the "Bookmarks.plist" file. When I go to Safari and export bookmakrs, DdG also cannot recognize the "Safari Bookmarks" file that was just exported.

Try that method for over 100 bookmarks🥴

I have never used DuckDuckGo. But I would think you could copy a bookmarked URL from Safari and paste it somewhere accessible to DuckDuckGo.

I do not see the toolbar you show in DuckDuckGo.

Not if you have hundreds, all organised in files and sub-files.

You do it on your Mac. I did what was suggested here: (It is a post in this topic)

Then as I mentioned in an earlier post on this thread, "I looked around DDG settings and found that it can sync and share with an iOS device by a scan code it generates when asked to sync."

That makes DDH on the Mac and iOS devices have the bookmarks that Safari has as of the date you do all this. Going forward you can manage to do it one at a time if you still use Safari.

I just did that method on my Mac and it worked beautifully, thank you. I hoped that when I opened DDG on the iPad it would now have them too, as happens if I add a Bookmark in Safari or Chrome. But it did not have them.

So I looked around DDG settings and found that it can sync and share with an iOS device by a scan code it generates when asked to sync. Now it is all done everywhere. Thank you.

What did Duck Duck Go support suggest when you contacted them for help with their application?

I had this same issue. I used File -> Import Bookmarks and Passwords

Then choose HTML Bookmarks file. Then it will recognize the exported file.

Again, these options are not available on iPad. But thanks for trying 🙂
