Hi all,
Run into a bit of an interesting issue with restoring bookmarks from the bookmarks.bak file located in AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default. I had accidentally deleted my bookmarks on a laptop, and unknowingly deleted them from all of my devices. I was trying to correct a sync problem which resulted in duplicate results...
I saw that many websites recommend the deletion of the bookmarks file, and replacing it by renaming bookmarks.bak. This method no longer seems to work - despite the fact that bookmarks.bak does indeed contain all of my "deleted" bookmarks.
I have tried setting as read only, and also renaming to bookmarks.html and using the import feature; but it is not recognized.
Has anyone got any suggestions for restoring my bookmarks from this file, rather than manually rebooking everything? I cannot believe there isn't an straight-forward way to do this!
I'm happy to try a third party tool, but haven't come across that seem to be able to do this!
