On your Chrome browser's address bar enter:

chrome://bookmarks

Then click on the Organize menu item and choose "Export bookmarks to HTML file..." and save the file on your somewhere on your hard drive such as on your desktop.

Then click on the profile switcher on the aforementioned button in the title bar, and then enter the same chrome://bookmarks URL form your new profile this time choosing "Import bookmarks from HTML file...". Choose your exported bookmarks file and you're done.

The accepted answer is correct, but you can also drag and drop bookmarks across two windows. This may be preferred if you don't wish to do a bulk export/import.

  • Open browser windows for both profiles.
  • Place the two windows side by side.
  • Open chrome://bookmarks in each window.
  • Drag and drop bookmarks between windows as desired (you can drag and drop to/from the bookmarks bar as well).

No it certainly shouldn't. But it definitely does.. Me for instance, need my damned bookmarks brought over because I have links to private sites I need access to. But it's not possible, or at least easy. Now I don't even see a way to do this without coming in as a new user On my wife's machine, which I REFUSE to do.

Been using Google for 20 years but that may well change now. I even pay a fee to them monthly, but no more

HOW'S THIS GARBARGE?

But avoid … Making statements based on opinion; back them up with references or personal experience.

I'm not even allowed to say negative things WITHOUT EXPERIENC? Well here's my experience. Admissible now?
