Re: Chrome bookmarks
I backed up my home folder on an external yesterday, and then deleted everything in it that i backed up. No .config folder is there, nor is there one still in my home folder on the primary drive. Google chrome is still on my system, I'm using it now, and all the bookmarks still are there. I can't find any folder that says .config anywhere. Is there some way to get chrome to tell me where they are going?Comment

Re: Chrome bookmarks
When I go into the bookmark manager i can copy and paste the bookmarks, so can i just do that then import them when I reinstall?Comment

Re: Chrome bookmarks
Running locate Bookmarks in konsole will tell you where they are.Comment

Re: Chrome bookmarks
OK, when I do this I get the same result as I was shown in the first response, /home/mark/.config/google-chrome/bookmarks, however when I tell it to open in the file manager it goes to my home folder where this directory does not show up. What am I missing here?Comment

Re: Chrome bookmarks
.config is a hidden folder, hence the dot.
Set your file manager to show hidden folders and it will appear along with many others!Comment

Re: Solved: Chrome bookmarks
The easiest way is to install the Xmarks extension. All of you bookmarks will be saved on their server, and you can merely download them after the upgrade.Comment

Except it only works on Chrome or chromium. Xmarks will let you download your bookmarks to different browsers, so you can sync with Chrome, chromium, Firefox, Safari, and IE.Comment

Re: Solved: Chrome bookmarks
So far I have had no trouble, all the comments on the site though say that it constantly duplicates the bookmarks until you have an unwieldly amount of themComment
