Chrome Bookmarks Parser

A pair of scripts that parses the Bookmarks.bak json and outputs it as a compatible HTML file that Chrome can import again.

Originally written as a means of preventing complete bookmark loss in the rare instances that Chrome explodes (and it does). This can be scheduled to run on your system to keep a fresh backup as needed, or as a last-ditch effort when everything's already on fire.

Installation

Scripts rely on Python 3. No external libraries/modules needed.

Usage

1. Navigate to the script's directory.
2. Run python Chrome_Bookmarks_backup.py in Windows Command Prompt, Terminal, or whatever your system uses.
3. Backup script will perform its job and call Chrome_Bookmarks_Parser.py which will parse Bookmarks.bak and output an HTML file with your bookmarks.

Contributing

As I don't have access to a system with any Linux distro or Mac OS X, I have written the Backup script according to what I could find online and my own knowledge. Testing of these is welcomed on the related systems along with fixes.
