# Import data from browsers

[The Yandex Browser beta version](https://browser.yandex.com/beta/) can transfer [bookmarks](https://yandex.by/support/browser-beta/en/favourites/izbrannoe-search.md), [browsing history](https://yandex.by/support/browser-beta/en/search-and-browse/history.md), and other settings from another browser installed on your computer.



## Import automatically {#automatic}

After installation, Yandex Browser asks if you want to transfer data from another browser.


{% list tabs %}

- You have a default browser


  You can transfer data from the default browser or select any other browser on your computer.


- You don't have a default browser

   Choose the desired browser installed on your computer and click **Import data**.

{% endlist %}

The type of data that is imported depends on the operating system and browser it is imported from.


{% note alert %}

If you chose the browser by mistake, you will not be able to cancel the data import. The data will be added immediately. To delete this data, [delete the current profile](https://yandex.by/support/browser-beta/en/personalization/profile.md#delete), then [create a new one](https://yandex.by/support/browser-beta/en/personalization/profile.md#q1), and [import the data manually](#non-auto) from another browser.

{% endnote %}



{% list tabs %}


- Windows



  {% note alert "Restriction" %}

  - Importing passwords from Internet Explorer is possible only in Windows 8, 10 and higher.
  - Yandex Browser imports passwords from Mozilla Firefox with the same bit depth. For example, Yandex Browser (32-bit) imports passwords from Mozilla Firefox (32-bit).
