google-chromemacos

Model ID: MacBookPro6,1

Chrome browser is no longer supported running in Mavericks. see this article
The report said one can use Firefox or Safari instead. However, I had html links saved within the Chrome browser. How can I extract the html links in it? Which directory should I start looking?

UPDATED: Thanks for everyone who help me to find the books, I ended up finding it using terminal application. It is in the directory /Users/$USER/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Profile 1
/Bookmarks

Another way to look for the bookmarks is if you had sync the bookmarks to google, one can go to the www.google.com/bookmarks to retrieve the bookmark.

Just to be clear... When you say "I had html links saved within the Chrome browser.", by that do you mean that you had bookmarked various web pages by using the Chrome > Bookmarks > Bookmark This Page... or Bookmark All Tabs...? If yes, then the file you want is the

/Users/$USER/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Bookmarks

file, and I believe it's in JSON format.

However, you'll need to use the Bookmark Manager in Firefox to import the data.

In Firefox, click Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks or just press: Shift-Command-B

From the Library window that opens, in the Toolbar, the last icon on the right click and select: Import Data from Another Browser...

Then walk through the Import Wizard making the appropriate selections along the way.
