Thuan Nguyen 2025-08-11: perfect, this does not duplicate records like some other extension
Tijana Salaj 2024-06-05: cannot export in zip properly or convert to CSV --- it asks you for an upgrade and only option is json url. Disappointed!
Hernán Sebastián Puccia 2023-02-06: No Sirve. No tiene la opción de convertir el archivo JSON a HTML, por lo tanto no me sirvió.
SamFernGamerHD 2022-06-19: Amazing! It exports flawlessly all the bookmarks, keeping information about the folder hierarchy too. Now I can reliably make backups of it. It should be a built-in function of Google Chrome.

Michael “Vu1turEMaN” H. 2021-02-17: People seem to be confused. It just works. You add the extension, you click the app icon in your browser toolbar, and you get 3 purple buttons, just like the images for the extension. You click one of the two download buttons of your choice, and that's it - the downloaded json appears in your downloads. IF you also want to convert that JSON to a csv/xml document, then you click that 3rd button which takes you to their web site that does json converters. There is NO REQUIREMENT to use their website or converter to download your json file.

Gary 2020-11-13: It works perfectly for me on Chrome 86.0.42.*, Windows 10. I was looking for a program that would export my history and bookmarks before making a clean slate. JSONs were created instantly, and I can be converted into CSV through a website. I used https://csvjson.com/json2csv which has no limit for conversion. Many 1-star reviews concern ease-of-use and unable to understand that you can google other websites that can convert JSON to other formats.

Some Guy 2020-10-04: It works. You get a flat array of all bookmarks.

Subramanya Adiga 2020-09-25: I have exported my bookmarks to json file from google chrome. Is there anyway to import it back to chrome with the same json? I have changed my machine and want to switch to new one.

Mark D 2019-12-04: Works quickly and is intuitive. Users who don't want to open the online converter can simply uncheck the checkbox in the dialog box -- or if you forget to do that, just close the new browser tab that comes up. If you open the JSON file in Wordpad (in Windows 10) and save the file as type RTF, the URLs will become active links.

Gaurang Tandon 2018-11-28: Works quickly and is intuitive. Users who don't want to open the online converter can simply uncheck the checkbox in the dialog box. To developer, you can use JSON.stringify(historyRecordString, null, 4); or something similar to generate a pretty output of the JSON file instead of putting everything in one line. As much as I want my history records, I also want them to be readable :)

Heymr Paul 2018-05-27: Brings you to a page so you can upload it to a converter. Gave me no results and showed me no file. It only brings you to this page to make you download yet another piece of software. What kind of software and what spyware is in it is anyones guess. AVOID THIS ENTIRELY.
