I noticed with Google Chrome, the only way to export your bookmarks is into an ugly formatted .html file.

like so.

I ended up parsing this with sed like so

Code:

sed '/<DT><A\|<DT><H3/!d;s/<DT>//;/Bookmarks bar/d;s/ ADD_DATE=\".*\"//g;s/^[ \t]*//;s/<A HREF/<a href/;s/[<H3|<A]/\L&/g' bookmarks.html

Then I realized Google Chrome stores its data as a SqlLite Database, so You can parse it easily, here are the screenshots of me doing it so you can replicate it.

Im using the desktop app navicat which lets you connect to different types of databases.

Hope this helps someone ;)
