Guide: How to find the Chrome Bookmarks location
Google Chrome bookmarks are easy to access and manage from the browser, but you can also open them directly from your file system. To do this, you’ll need to locate the bookmark file, which is stored in the same folder on every system but may be in a different location depending on your operating system (e.g. Windows 10, macOS or Linux). This article provides various methods for accessing and backing up your Google Chrome bookmarks or importing them into another browser.
Bookmark.bak is a snapshot of your Chrome browser’s bookmarks that is taken when you open the browser. It is a backup file, indicated by the ‘BAK’ extension, and can be used to restore any changes or deletions made to the current list of bookmarks.
