How to access Google Chrome bookmarks without opening Chrome

[Sena]

Hey guys,

 

So I came home today and hopped on Google Chrome today and for some odd reason it's automatically unresponsive after I start it up, on top of that, it takes forever to load and close, even with task manager. I cannot click on anything, it stays on the Google homepage and when I tried to click on the settings or anything else it becomes busy. I don't know why this is happening but I can't find any fixes so I'm just planning on moving to Firefox. Is there anyway I can access my Google Chrome bookmarks without starting it up? I have a lot of bookmarks that I wish to send over to Firefox but don't really know how to do this. I never had this issue with Google Chrome before but it's really annoying me, I've already restarted my computer over 10 times and waited for hours...

otherwise the bookmarks folder should physically be in the AppData/Local directory. 

You can type %AppData% into explorer and browse for it from there. That should take you to AppData/Roaming, move up one folder from there. 

 

found it, you can open the file with notepad.

I think Firefox gives you the option when installing it to get bookmarks from chrome.

But if not, you can just manually get your bookmarks by opening the bookmarks file at C:\Users\%USER%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default

Thank you so much! I went with the second option since I was unable to do anything on Chrome.
