Downloading your Chrome bookmarks is a straightforward process. Unfortunately, the provided reference only covers downloading bookmarks, not settings. Therefore, this answer will focus specifically on how to download your Chrome bookmarks.
Here's how to export your Chrome bookmarks:
- Open Chrome on your computer.
- Click the More icon (usually three vertical dots) located at the top right corner of the Chrome window.
- Navigate to Bookmarks and then select Bookmark Manager. Alternatively, you can press Ctrl+Shift+O on Windows or Cmd+Shift+O on macOS to directly access the Bookmark Manager.
- In the Bookmark Manager, click the More icon (again, three vertical dots) at the top right-hand corner.
- Select Export Bookmarks.
- Choose a location on your computer to save the bookmarks file. The file will be saved as an HTML file.
- Click Save.
Your bookmarks are now saved as an HTML file, which can be imported into Chrome or another browser.
Downloading Chrome Settings:
The provided reference does not include information about downloading Chrome settings. Generally, Chrome settings are synced to your Google account if you're signed in and sync is enabled. This means you don't download settings separately; they are automatically restored when you sign in to Chrome on a new device with sync enabled.
