Google-chrome – How to move bookmarks across Google Chrome profiles

bookmarksgoogle-chrome

My Chrome browser just updated itslef over the network to version 40. This new version has a button on the right-hand-side of the title bar just to the left of the minimize/maximize/close buttons with the user's profile name written on it. Now I would like to switch to a different profile but retain my bookmarks. How do I do this?

Best Answer

On your Chrome browser's address bar enter:

chrome://bookmarks

Then click on the Organize menu item and choose "Export bookmarks to HTML file..." and save the file on your somewhere on your hard drive such as on your desktop.

Then click on the profile switcher on the aforementioned button in the title bar, and then enter the same chrome://bookmarks URL form your new profile this time choosing "Import bookmarks from HTML file...". Choose your exported bookmarks file and you're done.
