• (2023-02-06) Hernán Sebastián Puccia: No Sirve. No tiene la opción de convertir el archivo JSON a HTML, por lo tanto no me sirvió.
• (2022-06-19) SamFernGamerHD: 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.
• (2022-03-13) DEVVIS: export flawlessly, now I need to import...oh well, its not available :) Please make this extension to be able to do importing too
• (2022-02-18) Martin Link: Fast, easy, and effective. You can't ask for anything else. Thanks!
• (2022-01-25) Deivid CM2: Just what i needed to backup my favorites, very useful
• (2021-02-17) Michael “Vu1turEMaN” H.: 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.
• (2020-12-18) GAOR TEOWIN: no funciona
• (2020-11-13) Gary: 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.
• (2020-10-04) Some Guy: It works. You get a flat array of all bookmarks. [{ "index": 0, "title": "Gmail", "url": "https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox", "id": 1121, "parentId": "1", "dateAddedLocal": "1/19/2018, 3:17:54 PM", "dateAddedUTC": "2018-01-19T23:17:54.792Z" },{ "index": 1, "title": "QTools", "id": 1123, "parentId": "1", "dateAddedLocal": "6/11/2020, 8:05:34 PM", "dateAddedUTC": "2020-06-12T03:05:34.522Z" },...]
• (2020-09-25) Subramanya Adiga: 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.
• (2020-08-06) alega2k: works
• (2020-07-04) Zachary Katz: Did what it said it would do! Huge table of .json like so: { "index": 3, "title": "If you could get every single person on the planet to watch one documentary, which one would it be? : AskReddit", "url": "http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/c8mqz/if_you_could_get_every_single_person_on_the/", "id": 1724, "parentId": "1", "dateAddedLocal": "5/16/2011, 5:36:01 PM", "dateAddedUTC": "2011-05-16T21:36:01.944Z" }
• (2020-04-09) Jose Arkadion: THIS EXTENSION WORKS BEAUTIFULLY, AND SEAMLESSLY, AND IS PROBABLY THE EASIEST EXTENSION THAT I HAVE EVER WORKED WITH. MANY KUDOS, AND MANY THANK YOUS !!! SINCERELY, HOSEA
• (2020-04-02) Dilip Kushwaha: Doesn't work.
• (2019-12-30) Dewd McMan: Useless non-functional junk. Just want a simple way to export & restore cookies, like from different portable Chromes & combine them, same way IE & Firefox & other real browsers always can =)
• (2019-12-04) Mark Diez: 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.
• (2019-11-26) Jaime Love: Simple job to do and it was easily done. The formatting is lack-luster, but all the info was organized quickly!
• (2019-11-17) Truong Ha: I Cant download json file
• (2019-11-04) Danial Shaikh: THIS APP JUST DOESNT WORK. REDIRECTS TO ANOTHER CONVERTER FILE AND YES, MY CHROME IS TOTALLY UPDATED. COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME! NOT EVEN SURE MY CHROME BOOKMARKS AND HISTORY IS SAFE OR THIS SCAM CHROME EXTENSION HAS JUST TAKEN EVERYTHING AWAY! EXTREMLY DISAPPOINTED!
• (2019-08-26) Robert DuWors: "Extension requires 'Manage your downloads' permission" Rather than snark over and over, explain how to do it! Not obvious.
• (2019-02-23) Marina Oliveira de Melo: Ok, I got exported my history, but now how to import?
• (2018-11-28) Gaurang Tandon: 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 :)
• (2018-10-10) Mati Roy: I like it except it limits to the last 500,000 history records.
• (2018-08-21) Tony Puglisi: does not save file, forces page redirect to json converter
• (2018-05-27) Heymr Paul: 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.
• (2018-03-09) Flavio Silva: Grande sacada
• (2018-02-18) Josh Comley: This does exactly what it says it will do, got my bookmarks in JSON perfectly
• (2018-01-20) Thu Nguyen Thi: good
• (2018-01-08) Janardan Misra: Junk!
• (2018-01-05) Milciades Gómez: MALO
• (2017-11-28) David C: Doesn't work
• (2017-11-22) Encore Télévision: CA MARCHE PAS TABARNAK!!!
• (2017-10-07) Bruno OS: very nice
• (2017-09-25) aymen opa: Your rating: Hated it
• (2017-02-12) charlene gardiner: Lazy
• (2017-01-01) Nikolai Koudelia: Works like a charm, thanks!
• (2016-11-29) Gersivan Oliveira: Seria ideal se baixasse diretamente a planilha com o histórico. Precisa ser mais prático.
• (2016-10-09) Samsu Boong: Krångligt dessutom vill ha pengar
• (2016-07-08) private name: should export direct to xls/xlsx/ods
• (2016-05-20) Russell Ridge: Doesn't disclose very limited export unless you subscribe

• (2023-11-06, v:2.3) Tracy Chen: typedCount vs. visitCount
  Hi, what does "typedCount" and "visitCount" mean in the "chrome_history.json"?
• (2021-11-24, v:2.2) Fenna van Lint: Great extension
  This extension works great! Nice that you can set the amount of exported history records. Is there any way to set a certain number as default? The default value is now always 100000. And is there a way to use this extension with a shortcut/hotkey in Chrome?
• (2021-02-21, v:2.2) Binh Son Vo (Son Techno): Son
  how to import to chrome on other computer?
• (2020-01-15, v:2.1) Robert: Only exporting about 18,000 records...
  This is only exporting about 18,000 records going back three months. I can scroll down my History in Chrome and see that more history is there.
• (2019-11-06, v:1.9) Zeljko Micic: JSON
  What's the location of downloaded JSON file? I didn't get the option to save it to desired location. Does this extension works with newest Chrome Version 78.0.3904.87?
• (2018-05-23, v:1.8) Jochem Stoel: Periodically import/export
  I would like to periodically export bookmarks/history to a specified location, overwriting if possible. For instance once every time I start Chrome. Can you add this functionality or should I unpack your plugin and add it myself?
• (2018-05-23, v:1.8) JSON file not downloading
  H, When we click on 'Chrome Bookmarks.JSON' button a file is downloaded but that fileis not a .json file. Please fix the issue.
• (2018-03-06, v:1.5) Muhammad Bilal: Older History
  How do I see more than 50000 older records?
• (2017-11-28, v:1.3) Gavin White: A Valid JSON is Required
  Where / how do I get this?
• (2017-11-10, v:1.3) Kathryn: cancel my subscription
  I had to run a screen video on the history for the employee meeting tomorrow. This extension would not export. Kept crashing when the window opened up to save. I have screen video of it crashing multiple times. REFUND me. Also I think you charged me twice. I cancelled one when it had my company name for the card. Then I did it with my personal name. I got 2 texts from my credit card company saying there were charges. Refund everything. I wil report it to my credit card as non-functioning software.
• (2017-11-09, v:1.3) Kathryn: can't print
  Paid for the 2.99 to get .csv file. I click the icon. Get the box history.json or box history.csv. I click history.csv. Pop-up with where to save the file then it in seconds it's gone. I've tried repeatedly. MacBookPro Sierra 10.12.6 Chrome 61.0. I've rebooted. I've restarted Chrome. Can't get it to function. IF I CAN'T GET IT TO WORK TONIGHT ... WON'T BE OF ANY USE. NEED IT FOR EMPLOYEE REVIEW TOMORROW.
• (2016-08-16, v:1.2) Vitaly qwery: Feature request
  There will be also good feature to add import form generated file. It's useful when you don't have access to google services or just don't want to use google sync for bookmarks.
• (2016-07-11, v:1.2) pogue972: Once exported, how do you import back in?
  So, I exported my history to a json file, and I downloaded the JSONView extension so I can see the history file, but how to I import it back as my history?
