Description

Parses bookmark sync data dumps adds them to the bookmark bar

Let's you import bookmarks from Chrome on mobile.

1. Enter chrome:sync-internals into the address bar
2. Go the Data tab
3. Unselect everything but Bookmarks
4. Check "include node content"
5. Click "Dump sync nodes to file"
6. Wait for the file to download
7. Transfer the file to a desktop computer with Chrome
8. Install this extension
9. Click on "Choose File" and choose the file you transfered.

The extension should now have created a folder on the bookmark bar with all bookmarks in the dump. If it didn't, contact me via the Support tab.

Literally saved my bacon when the thousands of bookmarks I've saved over the years suddenly vanished. FYI, if something like this happens to you, try to disconnect at least one synced device from the internet. This will prevent the bookmarks from updating and being removed on that device as well. Example: I put an Android phone into Airplane mode, followed the authors instructions in the description, transferred the export file to my PC, then used the extension to import the bookmarks. They lost their directory structure, but that beats manually entering all the URLs in again! Thanks again Metamask!
