First things first, let’s tackle those bookmarks.

Here’s how to get them out of Chrome:

1. Open Google Chrome and click the three dots in the top right corner.

2. Hit “Bookmarks” then “Bookmark manager”.

3. In the Bookmark manager, click “Organize” and select “Export bookmarks to HTML file”.

4. Choose where to save the file and click “Save”.

Boom! Your bookmarks are now in an HTML file.

You can import this into other browsers or keep it as a backup.

Exporting Chrome Passwords

Now, let’s get those passwords out.

There are two ways to do this, depending on your Chrome version.

Method 1: Using Chrome’s Built-in Password Export Feature (Chrome 66 and later)

1. Open Chrome and click the three dots in the top right corner.

2. Go to “Settings” then “Passwords” in the left menu.

3. Click the three dots next to “Saved passwords” and select “Export passwords”.

4. Choose where to save the file and hit “Export”.

Your passwords are now in a CSV file. Easy, right?

Method 2: Using a Third-Party Extension (for Chrome 65 and earlier)

1. Install the “Password Exporter” extension from the Chrome Web Store.

2. Click the extension’s icon and select “Export passwords”.

3. Choose where to save the file and click “Export”.

Again, you’ll get a CSV file with your passwords.

Important Notes

Hold up! Before you go exporting everything, keep these points in mind:

• Keep your exported files secure. They’ve got sensitive info.

• Be careful with third-party extensions. They might access your data.

• Consider using a password manager like LastPass or 1Password for better security.

• Regularly update your Chrome browser to access the latest export features.
