Hello, friends!
In this article I want to talk about how to save bookmarks to Google browser Chrome.
But, before moving on to the main issue, a small digression. My observations show that most Internet users simply do not know that you can bookmark sites you like and create a catalog of favorite links. For such users, there is no question of saving them. They only know the search engines Yandex or Google.
The other group is more advanced, and saves links to pages that interest them, but does not think about saving them, since such an operation is usually required when reinstalling the system, and this is the next level of advancement.
But if you are reading this blog, then you are interested in the topic of website creation and what is reinstalling Windows, you know firsthand.
And so, Windows OS is the most popular operating system, but it is not without its shortcomings, and when actively working with the computer, you gradually notice that it begins to “slow down”, “freeze” and no “cleaning” or “treatment” helps. In this case, you have to move on to radical measures - reinstalling the OS. This operation itself does not take much time; it takes much longer to install and configure the necessary programs.
In some cases this problem can be solved using the program Acronis True Image. For example, at my work in the computer lab there are 10 workstations, plus about twenty more. By using Acronis True Image I made an image once hard drive with all the settings and installed programs, and now at the beginning of the school year I restore the entire system in a few minutes after being bullied as best we could for a year. By the way, it’s a good idea to have such an image in case of an unforeseen emergency. If you are interested in working with the program in more detail Acronis, write in the comments.
But I have never had to restore my personal work computer in this way. The fact is that after a year or two of work software changes noticeably, and the saved image simply becomes outdated. You have to install the system and programs again.
How to optimize this process so that you spend less time on it? How to save program settings that are convenient for you? For example, I wrote about using , and it would be a shame if after reinstalling everything had to be configured again.
Therefore, I decided to write several articles on how to save program settings and transfer them to either new computer, or on PC after Windows installations. I decided to start with the popular Google Chrome browser.
So, let's start with the simplest thing.
How to create a bookmark?
If you liked the site and want to return to it, then click on the asterisk in the address bar of your browser. 
In the window that opens, you can select a folder to save; folders can be created by organizing a certain structure. Now, if you want to reopen this page, click on the icon and a list of all saved bookmarks will open. If you wish, you can open the bookmark manager ( Bookmarks – Bookmark Manager), and make changes to the structure. 
How to save bookmarks as a file
To do this, we again go to Bookmarks, open Bookmark Manager, press the button Control and select the item Export bookmarks. We indicate the location where the HTML file will be saved and give it a name (you can leave the default bookmarks_…….html). Now, if you have reinstalled the system and want to return your favorites to your favorite Google Chrome, again go to Bookmarks, and now select the item Import, indicate our saved file and click Ok. That's it, the links are back in place.
An HTML file with links can be stored on a flash drive and carried with you. If you often have to work on other people's computers, this is convenient. If not to a flash drive, then you can send it to some cloud service Internet, for example, Mail.ru. In this case, you will always have access to your links.
Method 2. Synchronizing settings
This method has certain advantages, primarily because not only links are saved, but also all settings and additions to the browser. In addition, this state can be synchronized with your other devices - tablet, mobile phone etc.
To synchronize, you need to have a Google account. Get one if you don't already have one.
Now you need to sign in to Chrome. To do this, in the browser control panel, select Settings and press the corresponding button. 
You will be asked to enter your Google account information. Now you can enable synchronization. In this case, you can save all the data, or you can select only some items. 
Now you don't have to worry about reinstalling Windows. It is enough to synchronize again after it, and your browser will return to its original state.
If several people work at the computer (brother, sister, wife...), then for each you can create your own user with individual settings and favorites. For this purpose again Settings find the button Add a new user. Now a button to switch between users will appear at the top. 
When working on someone else's computer, you can also create a new user, synchronize and work in the same way as on your workplace. The main thing is not to forget to delete the created profile.
I think now you understand everything about how to save bookmarks and settings in Chrome.
In the next article I will write about similar operations in Mozilla browser Firefox, subscribe to updates so as not to miss new articles.

Are you planning to reinstall Windows and want to save your bookmarks? That's right, because after deleting the browser, all your favorite sites will disappear, and you will have to remember them again. However, you don't have to do this. After all, you can always reinstall Chrome while saving your bookmarks. By the way, this is done very simply.
To save them when you reinstall your browser or operating system Windows, you need to perform 2 simple operations - export and import. For those who don’t know or are constantly confused, let me remind you. Export is uploading (saving) all your sites in one html file. And import is loading (adding) back into the browser.

Valuable information needs to be duplicated or stored somewhere else. system disk, and on . Only in this case can you be more or less calm. We all have many useful bookmarks on the Internet.
And at any moment you can lose all this information. I had such incidents before. Now I try to store everything valuable on services or on an external hard drive. But I record especially valuable data on . You can, of course, on a flash drive, but this is not reliable storage. At one point, the flash drive may simply not open.

At the very bottom of the list that opens, select the link Export bookmarks to fileHTML, and click on it. A window should open for you to save the file. I chose a save location Desktop, and pressed the button Save.
You can now drag or copy this file to a safe location. If you reinstall your system or browser, this file can be downloaded in the same way as we downloaded it. Only on the list Control, you will need to click on the Import bookmarks from HTML file link.
