Before a computer is erased or handed over, make a deliberate copy of the bookmarks you use. A dated HTML export is easy to identify and can be imported into another browser. Treat it as a bookmark copy, not a complete backup of the browser.

First select the Chrome profile that contains the bookmarks. If you use separate work and personal profiles, inspect both and keep their exports clearly labelled. A successful export from the wrong profile can look reassuring while missing the links that matter.

Create the export

Open Chrome’s menu, then Bookmarks and lists and Bookmark Manager. In the manager’s own menu, choose Export Bookmarks. Save the HTML file with a profile name and date in a destination you control. Do not place business bookmarks in a publicly shared folder; their titles and addresses can reveal internal systems.

Check the receiving browser

On the replacement computer, use the intended profile and choose Import bookmarks and settings under Bookmarks and lists. Select the exported HTML file. When bookmarks already exist, look in Other bookmarks for the imported material instead of assuming the transfer failed because the toolbar looks unchanged.

Check several distinctive folders and open a familiar non-sensitive link. Confirm that the folder hierarchy is useful and that old and new bookmarks have not been confused. Import once, inspect the result, then decide whether any tidy-up is needed; repeated imports can make that comparison harder.

Retain the dated export until the replacement workflow is settled. Saved passwords, extensions, cookies and application sign-ins need their own migration decisions. Having your links back does not prove that those other items were transferred.
