How to Save Your Google Chrome Bookmarks
\n<\/strong><\/h1>\n

You can export all of your Chrome bookmarks into a single HTML file that you can use to import bookmarks back into Chrome if you get a new computer or you just want to keep a copy of all your bookmarks in a safe place \u2013 a safe place being any place other than your Windows drive (usually C:\\).<\/p>\n

The nice thing about the document you\u2019ll create using this method is \u2013 all of your bookmarks will be clickable. So you can open them with Google Chrome or Aunt Tilly\u2019s Universal Browser (I\u2019m just being facetious about Aunt Tilly\u2026she has no browser, but she does make great cookies and cookies and browsers do go together. Never mind.)<\/p>\n

OK let\u2019s get started.<\/p>\n

Click on the settings icon in the top-right corner of Chrome. See? The 3 vertical dots in the top right-hand corner of Chrome. Then click on Bookmarks\u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Behold! When you click on Bookmarks (above) you\u2019ll see an option called Bookmark manager (below). Select it\u2026that\u2019s the way!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When the Bookmark Manager opens , click the arrow next to \u201cOrganize\u201d (see below):<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

After you click \u201cOrganize\u201d look at the very bottom and you will see \u201cExport Bookmarks to HTML file\u201d (see below \u2013 highlighted in green, duh!):<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now gaze upon the screenshot below. You will note that Chrome will, by default, save the bookmarks document in your Documents folder, which is cool if your documents folder is on a different drive (other than C:\\) like mine is. If not, we recommend you keep a copy on an external drive or a USB flash drive. If you get a new computer or your hard drive goes belly up, your bookmarks will be safe and sound on your USB or external drive.<\/p>\n

Just some good advice from your Uncle TC and your old Aunt EB.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You will also note \u00a0that Chrome assigns the file name for you which includes the date. You can, however change it to whatever you want it to be \u2013 like No-donuts-just-coffee or whatever makes your little heart go pitter patter (is that a solecism, EB? or just plain old bad spelling?). Well, you know what I meant.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And that dear friends is how you export all your Chrome bookmarks to a HTML document. The document will have clickable links that you can open with any browser. And, if need be, you can import them back into Chrome by opening the Bookmarks Manager, clicking Organize and clicking Import bookmarks from HTML file (look below!).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s that! Go forth and save your Chrome bookmarks now or forever hold your pieces.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
