Like most web browsers, Google Chrome lets you "bookmark" pages so you can easily find them again later. And if you have Chrome linked to your Google account, you can access those bookmarks on any device also running Chrome.
But if you need to move your bookmarks to another browser – or onto a device where you can't log into your Google account – Chrome offers an easy way to save, export, and import your bookmarks.
How to export your Chrome bookmarks
If you want to save your bookmarks to make them transferable and accessible later, Google Chrome lets you put them into an HTML document.
1. Open Chrome. In the top-right corner next to the address bar, click the three vertical dots (…).
2. Hover your mouse over Bookmarks, revealing another drop-down list. Click Bookmark Manager, which will open another browser tab with your bookmark list.
3. Click the vertical three dots (...) in the top-right corner.
4. Click Export bookmarks.
5. A floating window will appear, asking where you want to save the HTML file. Edit the file's name and save it somewhere you can find it.
How to import your Chrome bookmarks
Importing bookmarks into Chrome or another browser is easy too.
Importing bookmarks into Chrome

Importing bookmarks into Microsoft Edge
In Microsoft Edge, bookmarks are called Favorites. But they work the same way.
1. Open Edge and click the three dots in the top-right corner, and then Favorites.
2. In the pop-up that opens, click the three dots at the top and then Import Favorites.
3. A menu will appear asking where you want to import the favorites from. Select Favorites or Bookmarks HTML File from the drop-down menu, then Choose File to pick the HTML file from your computer.
All your Chrome bookmarks will import into Edge.
