Merging Chrome Bookmarks With Google Bookmarks

Only way to add all your chrome bookmarks into Google bookmarks


This is not a simple Job to do, as Google messed up a lot, by not merging Chrome Bookmarks(chrome://bookmarks) with Google Bookmarks(google.com/bookmarks)

NB:Try if and only if, your number of Chrome Bookmarks exceeds atleast 50(as the steps are too long and time consuming).......BTW mine exceeded 3000 bookmarks!!
So :)



1.Export Chrome Bookmarks as html file
 for this Go to Bookmark Manager...........select organize.........select Export Bookmarks to html file

2. Install Firefox 4
&select bookmarks..........select show all bookmarks..............select import and backup.................select import html............
Restart Firefox....now all your chrome bookmarks will be on Firefox4

3.Install the Google Toolbar(which is now discontinued)(open the link below on just installed firefox)
So to sign in to Google account through Toolbar some editing is needed
The toolbar gets installed in your home directory on windows and not on Program Files

Go to
C:\Users\"User"\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla
Search for
file "toolbar.js"
Open up toolbar.js with a Wordpad
Find:

www.google.com/accounts
and replace ALL with:
accounts.google.com

Restart Firefox...............

4.Now you can sign in to your Google account through toolbar on firefox
Select Google Bookmarks on toolbar.............select Import Firefox Bookmark

There we go................................................................................................
Google bookmark now include all your chrome bookmarks

Additional Tips:
5.Create a chrome bookmark and name it to GMark and add these line of code into url

javascript:(function(){var a=window,b=document,c=encodeURIComponent,d=a.open("http://www.google.com/bookmarks/mark?op=edit&output=popup&bkmk="+c(b.location)+"&title="+c(b.title),"bkmk_popup","left="+((a.screenX||a.screenLeft)+10)+",top="+((a.screenY||a.screenTop)+10)+",height=420px,width=550px,resizable=1,alwaysRaised=1");a.setTimeout(function(){d.focus()},300)})();

Use the GMark button to save any webpage to Google bookmarks .....................................................

6.To add Google Bookmark search to the Chrome address bar
Right-click in the address bar..............Select Edit search engines…..Select Add............Fill out the form as follows, and click OK:
Name:Google Bookmarks
Keyword: gb
URL:http://google.com/bookmarks/find?&q=%s
(In the Search Engines window there is also an option to make this the default search, if you wish.)

Enjoy
