Where on earth are the bookmarks stored?
SaulJed The easiest option would likely be to go to the ... menu > Favorites > Manage Favorites, then select "Export Favorites" in the sidebar. I have no idea how Chromium-based browsers store this data but that's a surefire way to back it up if you're moving machines without sync enabled (or using a Work account on macOS where sync doesn't work yet).
Not an option, no longer in that older env, just have a backup of it.
Thanks for trying anyway.
SaulJed Gave it a go and took a look around on my machine and came to the following conclusion
[drive letter]:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge Dev\User Data\Default
There's a Bookmarks file here that appears to contain the information if you open it in Notepad. Not sure if plopping that into a profile folder would bring the info right up or not though.
When I did my copy that file should've been included (I closed all running processes, rebooted, & then relaunched etc), but perhaps a more finer-grained manual process will do the trick, thanks for pointing out that singular point, I'll try something later.
- Hi,
Which Edge insider channel are you using?
were you using cloud sync before reinstalling your Windows?
