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.

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.
