I’ve been trying to figure out how to export my bookmarks from Google Chrome, and honestly, it’s been a bit of a struggle. I mean, I’ve got tons of bookmarks saved over the years, and I really don’t want to lose them. I know there’s got to be a way to do this without manually copying every single link, right? That would take forever!

So here’s the situation: I want to do a little spring cleaning on my browser. It’s gotten so cluttered, and while I’ve managed to organize my bookmarks into folders, I think it’s time to back them up. I’ve heard that exporting the bookmarks is pretty simple, but I’m just not sure where to start. Should I be looking in the settings menu, or is there a specific option somewhere else?

Also, once I export them, what format do they get saved in? I’ve heard something about an HTML file, but is that the only option? And if I do save them as an HTML, is it easy to import them back into Chrome (or another browser) later if I decide to switch things up?

I’ve seen some tutorials online that seem to complicate things a bit with screenshots and steps that feel overwhelming. I’d love a straightforward step-by-step guide from someone who’s done this before. Real talk—I’m not super tech-savvy, so any tips on how to make this as painless as possible would be awesome.

Also, if you’ve got any tricks for keeping bookmarks organized, I’d be all ears! I feel like I’m drowning in a sea of links and could really use some advice on managing this stuff better in the future. Thanks in advance for your help!
