can you export safari bookmarks to chrome

The Easiest Way To Transfer Safari Bookmarks To Google Chrome

If you're well integrated into Apple's ecosystem, sticking to Safari makes the most sense. The default browser is designed and optimized for macOS and iOS, allowing you to effortlessly pass tabs between devices or make purchases secured with FaceID or TouchID. There is a downside, though: Safari is an Apple exclusive. Because of that, you can't sync Safari with your Android or Windows devices, making Google Chrome a more appealing — and universal — alternative.

Right now, Chrome can beat Safari speeds on macOS. Google tested the latest build of Chrome using Apple's Speedometer browser benchmark, where it outperformed Safari, giving reasons a pretty good reason to switch. Chrome's browser extension support is also unparalleled, offering thousands of free web extensions via the Chrome Web Store. Beyond that, you can seamlessly sync Chrome history, passwords, settings, and bookmarks across all your devices by signing into the browser with your Google account.

Whether you want to take Google Chrome for a test drive or make the switch from Safari, you don't need to lose your bookmarks or settings. Here's the easiest way to transfer all your Safari bookmarks to Google Chrome.

How to transfer Safari bookmarks to Google Chrome on Mac

Moving bookmarks between desktop browsers is fairly straightforward. You can either let Chrome automatically import the bookmarks or do it manually yourself, as explained on the Google Support website.

To auto-import browser bookmarks from Safari:

1. Fire up Chrome on your computer.

2. Click the three-dot menu button located in the upper right corner of the browser.

3. Navigate to Bookmarks > Import Bookmarks and Settings. 

4. Pick Safari from the drop-down menu.

5. Browsing history, Bookmarks, and Search are checked by default. Uncheck the other items if you only want to import the bookmarks.

6. Click Import and then Done.

As mentioned, you can also transfer the bookmarks manually, but you'll need the related HTML file. This is also a simple process, but it takes a few extra steps.

1. Open Safari on your computer.

2. Go to File > Export Bookmarks.

3. Save the HTML file in your local Mac storage.

4. Open Chrome and go to Bookmarks > Import Bookmarks and Settings

5. This time, pick Bookmarks HTML File from the drop-down menu.

6. Locate the .html file and click Choose File.

On a fresh installation of Chrome, the imported bookmarks will appear on the bookmarks bar (you can show or hide the bar with Ctrl + Shift + B.) But if you've already created new bookmarks on Chrome, you'll find the imported Safari bookmarks in a folder called "Other bookmarks."

How to transfer Safari bookmarks to Google Chrome on iPhone and iPad

While importing and exporting bookmarks is a breeze on desktop, there's no direct way to do so on iOS or iPadOS. However, you can use Chrome sync and iCloud sync to transfer bookmarks from Safari on Mac to Chrome on iPhone or iPad. Note that you need a Google account for Chrome sync to work, and this process relies on having access to a macOS computer.

Start by syncing your Safari bookmarks on iOS or iPadOS via iCloud. On your iPad or iPhone, navigate to Settings > Profile > iCloud and turn on the switch for Safari.

Next, enable Safari sync on Mac. Find the iCloud in the System Preferences and check the toggle for Safari. 

Open Google Chrome on your Mac and import Safari bookmarks using the steps laid out in the previous section.

Sign into Chrome with your Google account. The imported bookmarks (also the history, passwords, and preferences) will be synced across all your devices.

Install Chrome on your iPhone or iPad and sign in with the same Google account.

Android devices also support Chrome sync. After you sync the bookmarks using iCloud, Google will import them to your Android device, too (provided you sign in with the same account).

How to Transfer Bookmarks To And From All Major Browsers

Collect and move your favorites easily

When you browse the internet and come across a helpful resource, one of the ways you can save it for later is to use apps like Google Keep or Evernote . However, you can also use your browser’s built-in tool to create a bookmark.

Bookmarks are saved shortcuts that store the title, favicon, and URL of a specific webpage. This way, you don’t have to remember the URL and next time you want to go to that specific web page, you can access it on the web via the saved bookmark.

Whether you’re using Google Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Microsoft Edge, this guide explains the steps you can take to transfer bookmarks to and from all major browsers. 

How To Transfer Bookmarks To & From Google Chrome

You can transfer your personal data to Google Chrome from another browser. This data includes your browsing history, saved passwords, default search engine, and bookmarks.

• To move your bookmarks from Chrome, open Chrome and click the menu (three dots) at the upper right side of the browser screen. Select Settings .

• Under the You and Google section, click Import bookmarks and settings .

• Select the menu on the Import bookmarks and settings window, and click the Favorites/Bookmarks box.

• Click the drop down arrow at the top to select the browser you’d like to transfer your bookmarks from and bring them into Chrome.

• If you have a Bookmarks HTML file, select the option from the drop down menu and upload the file from your drive. Click Open .

Chrome will transfer the contents of the HTML file and they’ll appear in the bookmark manager.

To transfer bookmarks from Chrome to another browser:

• Click the menu and select Bookmarks . 

• Select Bookmark manager .

• The Bookmarks window will open in a new tab. Click the menu (three dots).

• Select Export Bookmarks .

• Select a destination for the HTML file and then import them to your new browser.

How To Transfer Bookmarks To & From Microsoft Edge

You can transfer your bookmarks to Microsoft Edge from another browser without using an import or export file.

• Open Microsoft Edge and click on the three dots (horizontal) at the top right side of the screen. Click Settings.

• In the Settings window, click Import browser data on the right pane.

• Click the drop down arrow in the Import from box, and select the browser you’re transferring bookmarks from into Microsoft Edge.

• If you’re transferring bookmarks from Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge Legacy or Internet Explorer, select bookmarks and then click the blue Import button.

• If you’re moving bookmarks from Google Chrome to Microsoft Edge, you have to select your profile, select Favorites and Bookmarks , and then click Import .

• You’ll get a confirmation that says “We’ve brought your data over” meaning the transfer was successful.

To transfer bookmarks from Microsoft Edge to other browsers:

• Open Microsoft Edge and click on the Menu > Favorites > Manage Favorites .

• In the Manage Favorites window, click the menu and select Export Favorites .

• Save the HTML file to your preferred location and then export the file to another browser. 

How To Transfer Bookmarks To & From Firefox Browser

• To transfer your bookmarks to Firefox, open the browser and click on the three-line menu at the top right corner of the screen. Select Library . Alternatively, click on the Library icon on the browser menu.

• Click Bookmarks .

• Next, click Show All Bookmarks .

• Click Import and Backup .

In the drop down menu, you’ll get the following options:

• Backup , which backups up your bookmarks as a JSON file
• Restore , which restores bookmarks from a saved JSON file or previous date/time
• Import Bookmarks from HTML , which allows you to import bookmarks saved from Firefox or another browser in HTML format
• Export Bookmarks to HTML , which lets you store all your bookmarks in an HTML file
• Import Data From Another Browser , which lets you import bookmarks and other personal data from another browser

4. Select the Import Data from Another Browser option.

• From the Import Wizard , select the browser you want to transfer your bookmarks from and into Firefox. The browser options available will depend on the browsers installed on your computer, and those that are compatible with the Firefox import functionality.

• Click Next and repeat this step depending on the number of browsers you’re transferring your bookmarks from.

• In the Items to Import window, select the data you’d like to transfer to Firefox, in this case it would be Favorites/Bookmarks (the term used depends on the source browser and available data).  Click Next to start transferring the bookmarks.

• When the transfer process is completed, click Finish to go back to the Firefox Library interface. Your bookmarks folder should now be in the Firefox browser with all the transferred sites and any other data you chose to transfer.

To transfer bookmarks to another browser, use the same steps, but select Export Bookmarks to HTML in the Import and Backup section.

How To Transfer Bookmarks To & From Safari

You can also transfer bookmarks to Opera via an HTML file you exported from another browser. Select Bookmarks HTML File from the drop down menu and click Import to import the bookmarks file directly from another browser.

To transfer bookmarks from Opera to another browser,you can use an add-on if your version of the browser doesn’t have the export tool.

Troubleshooting, how to import saved passwords from safari to chrome.

Planning to switch to Google Chrome as your preferred web browser on your Mac? If so, you’ll be relieved to know that importing your saved passwords from Safari to Chrome is a lot easier than you think.

Safari is the default web browser on macOS devices, similar to how Microsoft Edge is on Windows. Most people hesitate to switch to a different browser, just because they’re worried about losing all their browsing data. However, that’s not an issue at all anymore considering most web browsers today allow you to import bookmarks, saved passwords, autofill data, etc. in a matter of seconds.

Interested in learning how you can seamlessly make the switch? Look no further, because in this article, we’ll be discussing exactly how you can import saved passwords from Safari to Google Chrome.

Importing browsing data such as bookmarks, saved passwords, autofill information, etc. is a fairly simple and straightforward procedure in Google Chrome. Make sure you’ve installed the latest version of Chrome on your Mac before you go ahead with the procedure.

That’s pretty much all there is to it. Now you know how to import saved passwords from Safari to Google Chrome.

Although we were focusing on saved passwords in this article, you can use the same procedure to import other browsing data such as favorites, bookmarks, autofill data, search history and more from Safari. Just make sure to check the respective boxes while importing and you’re set.

One of the many reasons why Safari users might want to switch to Google Chrome is because of the robust password manager feature that’s baked into the web browser. If you’re switching to Firefox instead, you won’t be able to automatically import your Safari passwords, since Firefox lacks the Keychain integration that Chrome has.

We hope you were able to import your saved passwords from Safari to Chrome without any issues. What do you think about the automatic import feature that’s available on most modern-day web browsers? Make sure to share your thoughts and experience in the comments section down below.

Please delete this page. It’s just plain wrong information.

This simply doesn’t work. I have the latest version of chrome and bookmarks/favorites is the only option that comes up to import. Not passwords.

I just imported Bookmarks from Safari to Chrome, through Firefox: I imported Safari to Firefox, and then Firefox to Chrome:

Open FireFox -> Setting -> Privacy & Security -> Scroll down to “Saved Logins” under Logins and Password -> clicked on the 3 dots on the upper right “. . .” and then “Import from Another Browser” and was able to select Safari.

That said, it got the bookmarks to Chrome but didn’t bring the saved logins or any autofill with it.

Unfortunately, your Windows screenshots do not reflect the Mac experience. The only way to get Safari bookmarks into Chrome is to first export them to a location on your computer (such as the Desktop) and them import them (as an HTML file) into Chrome. Currently there is no way to import passwords or other Safari functionality into Chrome on a Mac. (In both Catalina and Big Sur)

In addition one of your screenshots mistakenly highlights “Downloads” instead of “Bookmarks”.

If you’re going to provide instructions please verify them before posting.

I don’t have Safari as an option, only FireFox. How do we solve that?

Didn’t work for me. The “Import bookmarks and settings” window did not list Safari as a selection option.

Safari wasn’t listed for me either.

Safari is not a choice under “import bookmarks and settings” – only Firefox was when I tried (and all of my saved passwords are in Safari) – This does not work :(

The imported bookmarks go into a folder “imported from Safari.” I delete all the Chrome bookmarks, but still have my imported bookmarks all in this new subfolder.

I can obviously rename that to “Safari’ or “imported” or whatever. I cannot find how to REPLACE this into the main bookmark bar though. That is, I really want the Chrome bookmark Favorites bar to look like the existing Safari Favorites bar.

What am I missing???

How to transfer bookmarks from Safari to Chrome and back

How to transfer bookmarks from Chrome to Safari

There are several ways to transfer bookmarks to the Safari browser. Let’s take a closer look at two options. The first one is easy, but it may not work for one reason or another. The second one is more reliable.

You can transfer your bookmarks from Chrome to Safari in just a couple of clicks. This is what you have to do:

• Launch Safari on MacOS;
• Select in the top menu: “File” – “Import from” – “Google Chrome”;

• There will be an informational message suggesting that you select import items: bookmarks or history. You can mark two points at once, and then click “Import”.

Important note: At this stage, the browser may simply close, and after its launch there will appear an unexpected shutdown error. This usually happens if a lot of bookmarks have been accumulated in Google Chrome, and they cannot be imported this way. In such a situation, proceed to the more complex method described below.

If the first way to import bookmarks from Chrome to Safari did not work, you will need to proceed to a more complex option when your bookmarks will be exported from Google Chrome, and then imported directly from the created file, and not from the application.

Step by step follow these steps to transfer your Google Chrome bookmarks to Safari:

• Launch Google Chrome and click on 3 dots in the upper right corner to open the context menu. In this menu you need to select “Bookmarks” – “Bookmark Manager”;

• A new tab will open in the browser. This tab contains the full list of the active Google Chrome user’s bookmarks. Click on the 3 points in the upper right corner of the opened window and select the “Export bookmarks” item;

• You are going to see a window where you will be invited to name the text in HTML format, which is sent for export. Enter any name; select a saving location and click “Save”;

• Having exported the bookmarked file, you will only have to load it into the Safari browser. To do this, open Safari and in the top menu select “File” – “Import from” – “Bookmarks HTML file”;

• Finder opens and here you will need to select a previously exported file. Go to the directory where you saved the bookmarks export, and point to the created file. Now select “Import”.

After that, the imported tabs will be available in the Safari browser. They will be stored in a separate folder in the list of bookmarks.

How to transfer bookmarks from Safari to Chrome

If, on the contrary, you used Safari for a long time and accumulated a large number of bookmarks in it, and now you have decided to switch to Google Chrome, there is a way to transfer bookmarks. In general, the method is almost the opposite of the one discussed above.

In order to transfer your bookmarks from Safari to Chrome you need to execute the following steps one by one:

• Launch Safari on a Mac-based computer and select “File” – “Export bookmarks” in the top menu;

• Next, select the place where you want to save the file with the bookmarks exported from Safari, and also give it a name and click the “Save” button;

• After that, go to the Google Chrome browser and click on the three dots in the upper right corner to bring up the context menu. In this menu you need to select “Bookmarks” – “Bookmark Manager”;

• A separate tab of the bookmark manager will open. Here you need to click on the three dots in the upper right corner (on a blue background) and select “Import bookmarks”;

• A Finder window will open to search for the bookmark file on the computer. Find the desired file with the exported Safari bookmarks and click “Open”.

After that all your bookmarks will be available in a separate folder called “Imported done” in Google Chrome.

Step 1: Open Bookmark Manager

Open the Chrome Bookmark Manager by clicking on the three vertical dots at the top right of your Chrome browser, then select “Bookmarks” followed by “Bookmark manager.”

You can now choose where you want to save your bookmarks file on your computer. Once you’ve picked the perfect spot, click ‘Save’ to create the HTML file.

Choosing the right destination is like picking the perfect home for your bookmarks. You’ll want to remember where you’ve saved them, so choose wisely!

Once you’ve completed these steps, you will have successfully exported your Chrome bookmarks to an HTML file. This file can be imported into other browsers, or you can keep it as a backup in case you need to restore your bookmarks in the future.

Tips for Exporting Chrome Bookmarks

• Make sure to name your bookmarks HTML file something you’ll remember and can easily recognize.
• Regularly export your bookmarks to keep a current backup in case of computer failure or other issues.
• Store your exported bookmarks file in a safe and secure location, like an external hard drive or cloud storage.

116 Top Free SEO Tools

Unlock the power of SEO without breaking the bank. Explore the best free tools to optimize your website for search engines.

Software makes the SEO world go round. From analyzing your website data to performing research, effective SEO relies on a series of tools to assist humans in decision-making.

Paid subscription tools can be highly effective and usually come with support. But if you don’t have a large monthly budget, they might be out of the question.

The good news is that there are plenty of free tools. With a bit of time and know-how, you can create a free stack of software that helps you achieve your SEO goals.

What Are SEO Tools?

Think of SEO tools as your digital magnifying glass and toolkit for your website. They’re not just about providing numbers and graphs; they’re about offering insights and strategies to enhance your website’s visibility and performance.

These tools are the compass and map for navigating the vast world of search engine optimization, helping you pinpoint exactly where you stand and what steps you need to take to improve and boost visibility in search engine results pages ( SERPs ).

Each SEO tool has a unique function, just like how a hammer is distinct from a screwdriver in a traditional toolbox. They offer specialized assistance in various aspects of SEO:

• Analytics – Understand your website traffic and user behavior.
• Keyword Research – Discover what your audience is searching for.
• Links – Analyze your backlink profile and build quality links.
• Local SEO – Optimize your site for local search results.
• Mobile SEO – Ensure your site is optimized for mobile users.
• On-page SEO – Improve the content and structure of your website pages.
• Research – Dive deep into market trends and competitor strategies.
• Rank Checking – Monitor where your pages stand in search results.
• Site Speed – Enhance the loading speed of your pages.
• WordPress SEO – Optimize your WordPress site specifically for SEO.

SEO tools are incredibly useful, but you must understand how to use them to get the most out of them.

There are even a few toolsets that can help you in more than the areas we just mentioned, giving you more of an all-at-once glance at your SEO performance.

Do You Need SEO Tools?

The short answer is yes, you need SEO tools.

Imagine trying to build a table using only your hands.

You wouldn’t get very far, would you? No.

You will need tools – saws, a measuring tape, a drill, and screwdrivers, to name a few.

Similarly, while you can certainly create a website with basic knowledge and intuition, truly optimizing and understanding its performance requires the right tools.

Without them, you’re essentially playing a guessing game.

Without SEO tools, you’re missing out on:

• The volume of traffic reaching your site.
• Alerts on sudden drops in website visits.
• Identifying and fixing HTML errors.
• Tracking the quantity and quality of your backlinks.
• Discovering potential keywords to drive more traffic.
• And much, much more.

So, while it’s theoretically possible to manage a website without SEO tools, if you’re serious about maximizing its potential and reaching your audience effectively, leveraging these tools isn’t just recommended – it’s essential.

Google Gemini: Everything you need to know about the new generative AI platform

Google’s trying to make waves with Gemini, its flagship suite of generative AI models, apps and services.

So what is Gemini? How can you use it? And how does it stack up to the competition ?

To make it easier to keep up with the latest Gemini developments, we’ve put together this handy guide, which we’ll keep updated as new Gemini models, features and news about Google’s plans for Gemini are released.

What is Gemini?

Gemini is Google’s long-promised , next-gen GenAI model family, developed by Google’s AI research labs DeepMind and Google Research. It comes in three flavors:

• Gemini Ultra , the most performant Gemini model.
• Gemini Pro , a “lite” Gemini model.
• Gemini Nano , a smaller “distilled” model that runs on mobile devices like the Pixel 8 Pro .

All Gemini models were trained to be “natively multimodal” — in other words, able to work with and use more than just words. They were pretrained and fine-tuned on a variety of audio, images and videos, a large set of codebases and text in different languages.

This sets Gemini apart from models such as Google’s own LaMDA , which was trained exclusively on text data. LaMDA can’t understand or generate anything other than text (e.g., essays, email drafts), but that isn’t the case with Gemini models.

What’s the difference between the Gemini apps and Gemini models?

Image Credits: Google

Google, proving once again that it lacks a knack for branding, didn’t make it clear from the outset that Gemini is separate and distinct from the Gemini apps on the web and mobile (formerly Bard). The Gemini apps are simply an interface through which certain Gemini models can be accessed — think of it as a client for Google’s GenAI.

Incidentally, the Gemini apps and models are also totally independent from Imagen 2 , Google’s text-to-image model that’s available in some of the company’s dev tools and environments.

What can Gemini do?

Because the Gemini models are multimodal, they can in theory perform a range of multimodal tasks, from transcribing speech to captioning images and videos to generating artwork. Some of these capabilities have reached the product stage yet (more on that later), and Google’s promising all of them — and more — at some point in the not-too-distant future.

Of course, it’s a bit hard to take the company at its word.

Google seriously underdelivered with the original Bard launch. And more recently it ruffled feathers with a video purporting to show Gemini’s capabilities that turned out to have been heavily doctored and was more or less aspirational.

Google’s best Gemini demo was faked

Still, assuming Google is being more or less truthful with its claims, here’s what the different tiers of Gemini will be able to do once they reach their full potential:

Gemini Ultra

Google says that Gemini Ultra — thanks to its multimodality — can be used to help with things like physics homework, solving problems step-by-step on a worksheet and pointing out possible mistakes in already filled-in answers.

Gemini Ultra can also be applied to tasks such as identifying scientific papers relevant to a particular problem, Google says — extracting information from those papers and “updating” a chart from one by generating the formulas necessary to re-create the chart with more recent data.

Gemini Ultra technically supports image generation, as alluded to earlier. But that capability hasn’t made its way into the productized version of the model yet — perhaps because the mechanism is more complex than how apps such as ChatGPT generate images. Rather than feed prompts to an image generator (like DALL-E 3 , in ChatGPT’s case), Gemini outputs images “natively,” without an intermediary step.

Gemini Ultra is available as an API through Vertex AI, Google’s fully managed AI developer platform, and AI Studio, Google’s web-based tool for app and platform developers. It also powers the Gemini apps — but not for free. Access to Gemini Ultra through what Google calls Gemini Advanced requires subscribing to the Google One AI Premium Plan, priced at $20 per month.

The AI Premium Plan also connects Gemini to your wider Google Workspace account — think emails in Gmail, documents in Docs, presentations in Sheets and Google Meet recordings. That’s useful for, say, summarizing emails or having Gemini capture notes during a video call.

Google says that Gemini Pro is an improvement over LaMDA in its reasoning, planning and understanding capabilities.

An independent study by Carnegie Mellon and BerriAI researchers found that the initial version of Gemini Pro was indeed better than OpenAI’s GPT-3.5 at handling longer and more complex reasoning chains. But the study also found that, like all large language models, this version of Gemini Pro particularly struggled with mathematics problems involving several digits, and users found examples of bad reasoning and obvious mistakes.

Early impressions of Google’s Gemini aren’t great

Google promised remedies, though — and the first arrived in the form of Gemini 1.5 Pro .

Designed to be a drop-in replacement, Gemini 1.5 Pro is improved in a number of areas compared with its predecessor, perhaps most significantly in the amount of data that it can process. Gemini 1.5 Pro can take in ~700,000 words, or ~30,000 lines of code — 35x the amount Gemini 1.0 Pro can handle. And — the model being multimodal — it’s not limited to text. Gemini 1.5 Pro can analyze up to 11 hours of audio or an hour of video in a variety of different languages, albeit slowly (e.g., searching for a scene in a one-hour video takes 30 seconds to a minute of processing).

Gemini 1.5 Pro entered public preview on Vertex AI in April .

An additional endpoint, Gemini Pro Vision, can process text and imagery — including photos and video — and output text along the lines of OpenAI’s GPT-4 with Vision model.

Within Vertex AI, developers can customize Gemini Pro to specific contexts and use cases using a fine-tuning or “grounding” process. Gemini Pro can also be connected to external, third-party APIs to perform particular actions.

In AI Studio, there’s workflows for creating structured chat prompts using Gemini Pro. Developers have access to both Gemini Pro and the Gemini Pro Vision endpoints, and they can adjust the model temperature to control the output’s creative range and provide examples to give tone and style instructions — and also tune the safety settings.

Gemini Nano

Gemini Nano is a much smaller version of the Gemini Pro and Ultra models, and it’s efficient enough to run directly on (some) phones instead of sending the task to a server somewhere. So far, it powers a couple of features on the Pixel 8 Pro, Pixel 8 and Samsung Galaxy S24, including Summarize in Recorder and Smart Reply in Gboard.

The Recorder app, which lets users push a button to record and transcribe audio, includes a Gemini-powered summary of your recorded conversations, interviews, presentations and other snippets. Users get these summaries even if they don’t have a signal or Wi-Fi connection available — and in a nod to privacy, no data leaves their phone in the process.

Gemini Nano is also in Gboard, Google’s keyboard app. There, it powers a feature called Smart Reply, which helps to suggest the next thing you’ll want to say when having a conversation in a messaging app. The feature initially only works with WhatsApp but will come to more apps over time, Google says.

And in the Google Messages app on supported devices, Nano enables Magic Compose, which can craft messages in styles like “excited,” “formal” and “lyrical.”

Is Gemini better than OpenAI’s GPT-4?

Google has several times touted Gemini’s superiority on benchmarks, claiming that Gemini Ultra exceeds current state-of-the-art results on “30 of the 32 widely used academic benchmarks used in large language model research and development.” The company says that Gemini 1.5 Pro, meanwhile, is more capable at tasks like summarizing content, brainstorming and writing than Gemini Ultra in some scenarios; presumably this will change with the release of the next Ultra model.

But leaving aside the question of whether benchmarks really indicate a better model, the scores Google points to appear to be only marginally better than OpenAI’s corresponding models. And — as mentioned earlier — some early impressions haven’t been great, with users and academics pointing out that the older version of Gemini Pro tends to get basic facts wrong, struggles with translations and gives poor coding suggestions.

How much does Gemini cost?

Gemini 1.5 Pro is free to use in the Gemini apps and, for now, AI Studio and Vertex AI.

Once Gemini 1.5 Pro exits preview in Vertex, however, the model will cost $0.0025 per character while output will cost $0.00005 per character. Vertex customers pay per 1,000 characters (about 140 to 250 words) and, in the case of models like Gemini Pro Vision, per image ($0.0025).

Let’s assume a 500-word article contains 2,000 characters. Summarizing that article with Gemini 1.5 Pro would cost $5. Meanwhile, generating an article of a similar length would cost $0.1.

Ultra pricing has yet to be announced.

Where can you try Gemini?

The easiest place to experience Gemini Pro is in the Gemini apps . Pro and Ultra are answering queries in a range of languages.

Gemini Pro and Ultra are also accessible in preview in Vertex AI via an API. The API is free to use “within limits” for the time being and supports certain regions, including Europe, as well as features like chat functionality and filtering.

Elsewhere, Gemini Pro and Ultra can be found in AI Studio. Using the service, developers can iterate prompts and Gemini-based chatbots and then get API keys to use them in their apps — or export the code to a more fully featured IDE.

Code Assist (formerly Duet AI for Developers ), Google’s suite of AI-powered assistance tools for code completion and generation, is using Gemini models. Developers can perform “large-scale” changes across codebases, for example updating cross-file dependencies and reviewing large chunks of code.

Google’s brought Gemini models to its dev tools for Chrome and Firebase mobile dev platform, and its database creation and management tools . And it’s launched new security products underpinned by Gemini , like Gemini in Threat Intelligence, a component of Google’s Mandiant cybersecurity platform that can analyze large portions of potentially malicious code and let users perform natural language searches for ongoing threats or indicators of compromise.

Gemini Nano is on the Pixel 8 Pro, Pixel 8 and Samsung Galaxy S24 — and will come to other devices in the future. Developers interested in incorporating the model into their Android apps can sign up  for a sneak peek.

Is Gemini coming to the iPhone?

It might! Apple and Google are reportedly in talks to put Gemini to use for a number of features to be included in an upcoming iOS update later this year. Nothing’s definitive, as Apple is also reportedly in talks with OpenAI and has been working on developing its own GenAI capabilities .

This post was originally published Feb. 16, 2024 and has since been updated to include new information about Gemini and Google’s plans for it.

How-To Geek

Vivaldi is now an even better browser on ipad.

iPad owners get new productivity features, and there are a few improvements for iPhones as well.

Vivaldi is a popular alternative web browser, focused on packing in as many useful features as possible. Vivaldi 6.7 is now rolling out on iPhone and iPad, and it has some massive improvements for iPad owners and productivity.

The latest update to the Vivaldi mobile browser includes some enhancements on iPad devices, especially the ability to use multiple windows. For example, you can switch to split-screen mode and place different Vivaldi windows (with their own sets of tabs) on each side. Safari and Chrome already had that feature on iPads, but it’s great to see it in Vivaldi as well.

Vivaldi said in a blog post, “You can view two or three Vivaldi windows open side-by-side on your iPad. You can resize windows to your liking and manage them with a tap, drag, or swipe. You can create as many Vivaldi windows you want for all your different tasks and work modes. We have also enabled more iPad features like always-on-top Slide Over Mode.”

There are a few other changes that are now available for both iPhones and iPads. Vivaldi has had a built-in notes tool for a while, giving you cross-device note syncing without downloading more apps, and now you can reorder those notes from iPads and iPhones. There are sort options based on the title, creation date, last edited date, manual ordering, and more. You can also now sort your bookmarks based on title, address, nickname, description, and other data.

Finally, Vivaldi is updating the Force Dark Theme feature that first arrived in Vivaldi 6.6 . That option forces all sites to use a dark theme, even when they weren’t designed for one—that can sometimes cause visual glitches, but it’s still better than no dark theme at all. The feature can now match your system color scheme, in addition to the previous always-on option. For example, you could have sites operate normally while your iPhone is in light mode, while forcing dark mode when your iPhone is in dark mode.

The mobile updates come after several recent upgrades to the desktop browser over the past year, including a Memory Saver mode added earlier this month and improvements to extensions back in February.

You can download Vivaldi today on iPhone, Android, Windows, Mac, and Linux.

• Shut Down Web Tracking: How to Switch From Google Chrome to the Brave Browser

Brave offers a privacy-conscious alternative to Google's browser, with promises to block ads and web trackers. Here's how to import your data from Chrome to Brave.

Among Google Chrome alternatives , Brave is a lesser-known option compared to Firefox, Microsoft Edge , and Safari. However, Brave stands out for its focus on privacy , built-in VPN and ad blocker, numerous custom features, and the ability to earn rewards while browsing.

Like Chrome, Brave is built on the open-source Chromium browser engine, so its interface should look familiar. But while Chrome is notorious for hogging your RAM , Brave says that its browser uses less RAM by blocking ads and trackers.

Switching browsers is fairly easy; extensions and features should carry over seamlessly thanks to that Chromium engine. But if you’re reliant on some Chrome-exclusive extensions, you can add them manually to Brave via the Chrome Web Store. Here's how to migrate browsing data, bookmarks, passwords, and more. 

How to Import Your Browser Data and Passwords to Brave

The obvious first step is to download and install Brave from the company's website . Once installed, the browser should immediately prompt you to set it as the default and import browsing data. If you don’t want to follow the steps of the onboarding screen, you can also set it up manually. 

To import your data manually, open the hamburger menu in Brave, then select Bookmarks > Import bookmarks and settings . Pick from the list of browsers you want to import. In this case, we’ll click Chrome . You can choose to import your browsing history, bookmarks, passwords, and extensions, and payment methods. Click Import to grab all the data from your Chrome profile.

If you select Save passwords , all your passwords should be imported, but you can also download your passwords from Chrome. Open the Settings menu in Chrome, choose Autofill and passwords > Settings and click Download file next to Export passwords to create a .csv file.

Now, open the hamburger menu in Brave and choose Settings > Autofill and passwords > Password manager . Select Settings and click Select file next to Import passwords . Navigate to your .csv file—in our case, it's in the Downloads folder—and click Import . Note that the .csv file isn’t encrypted, so be sure to delete it and clear your recycling bin to keep your passwords secure. 

Sync Settings Across Devices

If you plan to use Brave across multiple devices, set up a Sync Chain. Open the hamburger menu in Brave and choose More tools > Sync . Since this is the first time you're setting up Brave, choose Start using Sync Chain and pick either Phone/Tablet or Computer .

Brave will generate either a Sync Chain QR code (on mobile) or a Sync Chain Code (a long line of text) on desktop to help you set up your device seamlessly. Brave warns you not to share the QR code or Sync Chain Code with anyone and to treat it like a password.

Now, switch to your other device. If it's a computer, head back to this screen, choose I have a Sync Code , and enter the text in the box, then click Confirm . (You can also copy and paste across Windows computers and Apple devices .) For mobile devices, install Brave, then open to Brave Sync in Settings and tap Scan Sync Code . After entering the passphrase or scanning the QR code, both devices should be synced.

Set Brave as Your Default Browser

The onboarding screens should have helped you set Brave as the default browser , but you can also set it up manually. In Windows 10, go to Settings > Apps and choose Google Chrome under Web browser , then pick Brave from the list.

On Windows 11 , we recommend manual setup to ensure Brave is the default for different types of files and extensions. Go to Settings > Apps > Default Apps > Brave > Set default .

Below that, you’ll see an option to Set default file types or link types . Setting Brave as default should switch some of those over automatically, but in our case, it skipped several file types, like .shtml, .svg, and .webp. For those, switch each one to Brave manually by picking the browser from the drop-down menu. Leave PDF alone if you have a dedicated PDF viewer.

Mac users can go to System Settings > Desktop & Dock and choose Brave from the Default web browser menu. Older versions of macOS will require you to open System Preferences > General before choosing Brave from the Default web browser menu.

Choose Your Own Search Engine

Brave uses its own search engine by default, but switching is easy. Open the browser's hamburger menu and choose Settings > Search engine .

You’ll see two drop-down menus for Normal Window and Private Window . Pick the search engine you want for each options. Alongside Google and Bing, you'll also find several alternative search engines , such as DuckDuckGo, Qwant, and Ecosia. Your address bar should then reflect the new search engine

There are also a few toggle options to improve search suggestions, contribute to Brave’s Web Discovery Project, and index other search engines that follow the OpenSearch spec. You can enable or disable whichever ones you’d like.

Is the Brave Browser Safe?

Privacy and security are likely the main reasons you picked Brave over other browsers. While Google recently discontinued the VPN that came with Google One, Brave has a built-in VPN , though it costs $9.99 per month ($99.99 per year if you subscribe via the apps).

With or without the VPN, you’ll want to configure a few privacy settings and special features to take full advantage of what Brave has to offer. 

Open Settings > Shields to see various options for blocking trackers, ads, fingerprinting , scripts, and cookies. Depending on the level of privacy you’re seeking, you can pick Aggressive/Strict, Standard, or Disabled. We recommend leaving it on standard to start, since more aggressive filtering tends to break some sites. 

Under Privacy and security , you’ll see a section called Tor windows and various toggles for handling .onion links and sites. For those unfamiliar, the Tor Browser is a privacy-centric open-source browser of the Tor Project that became notorious over the years for allowing people to anonymously buy drugs, guns, and engage in other illegal activity on the dark web . 

Brave has its own Tor Onion Service integrated into the browser via its private window. This allows you to hide your IP address from your ISP, hide visited sites, and anonymize yourself against anyone else who might be watching your connection. 

Brave also comes with a suite of Web3 features: the built-in Brave cryptocurrency wallet , NFT discovery, and options to clear your wallet history and automatically lock it after a certain number of minutes.
