Quick Start

After installing Turbo Browser, follow these steps for basic setup.

1. Sign in and sync

1. Click the avatar in the top-right and choose Turbo account or Google account.

Dual sign-in: switch Turbo or Google account from the avatar menu, sign-in page, browsing data page, or history page

2. Open Settings → Sync and enable bookmarks, browsing history, passwords, Passkeys, browser settings, extensions, etc. as needed.
3. First sync may take a few minutes — keep a stable network connection.

TIP

Sync requires a network connection and a signed-in Turbo or Google account. If it fails, check network and account status, then retry later. See Data Sync for details.

2. Import from another browser

You can start import from either entry:

1. Bookmarks bar — Click Import bookmarks

2. Settings — Settings → Profile → Import bookmarks and settings

3. Choose source: Chrome or Edge.
4. Select bookmarks, passwords, autofill, extensions, etc. (extension import depends on the current build).

See Data Import for details.

3. Mouse gestures & boss key

1. Open Settings, search for mouse gestures, or open the gestures panel.
2. Enable gestures and review defaults; customize trail color and action mappings.
3. The default boss key is Ctrl + Q (Control on both Windows and macOS) to hide or show the browser window; change it under Boss key in Settings.
