Finally, there is a way to export bookmarks saved in Opera. The new Chromium based Opera lets you import bookmarks from other browsers like Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer, and through an HTML file. But Opera doesn’t let you export bookmarks, don’t worry! We’ve got you covered.
You can export Opera bookmarks to an HTML file and later they can be imported to another browser like Chrome, Firefox or Internet Explorer.

Once Export successful message was shown, visit Opera://downloads page and click on ‘show in folder’ to see and access bookmarks.html from the downloaded location.

UPDATE: Those who haven’t found the above mentioned Opera extension as it doesn’t preserve structure of nested folders, you can try another extension V7 Bookmarks, bookmark manager in sidebar with many features.
This extension developer claims to export opera bookmarks tree with/with out favions to HTML file.
You can able to sort bookmarks alphabetically, merge bookmarks and remove duplicates as well.
This extension ignores nested folders. Worthless!
That has been already said in the post.
garbage extension.
Do you really need an extension to do what other browsers does automatically?
Wait! Opera 43 will offer import and export bookmark feature.
Honestly, they should’ve implemented that feature ages ago. I think they did offer that before, but for some reason I can’t seem to find it anymore.
In my opinion, this made Opera suck, this is a big deal for me, since I have multiple computers, both outside and inside work, and bookmarks are very important.
This is also the reason why I switched to Chrome, but Opera is still a good and reliable browser, I really liked their mouse shortcuts.
Awesome it works, thank you I’ve been trying for years to get it to finally transfer bookmarks between the different Opera browsers
And this is why I no longer use Opera as my default browser. Ever since they abandoned the Presto Engine after version 12, basic features have been missing from the browser. Good news, the cofounder and former CEO of Opera has left and created a new browser for those that used to love Opera, implimenting all the features we used to love about Opera. It’s called Vivaldi.

If you have been a longtime fan of Opera, but cannot stand they crippled browser they build today, then Vivaldi is exactly what you’ve been searching for.
just synchronize with operra account
In the latest Opera, go to the bookmarks page, and look in the bottom left.
I already mentioned that in the article with an update https://techdows.com/2017/06/opera-47-export-bookmarks.html
