MacOS – Import Safari data into Safari Technology Preview

macossafarisafari-technology-preview

I have installed the Safari Technology Preview and whilst everything works fine, there is a lot of data which is missing and not been migrated.

Bookmarks, Reading List and AutoFill have been transferred automatically through iCloud, and eventually History through iCloud too, but I would like to also transfer the following data:

  • Cookies
  • Preferences
  • Extensions (specifically the extension preferences — I can reinstall the actual extensions)

How can I export my Safari browser data into the Safari Technology Preview?

Coping ~/Library/Safari to ~/Library/SafariTechnologyPreview works for me.

On the command line, run:

cp -R ~/Library/Safari ~/Library/SafariTechnologyPreview
