Google Chrome is one of the most used web browsers out there on both desktop and mobile platforms.

The obvious answer is the browser itself. But, here, we are not looking to search for the bookmarks inside Google Chrome. Instead, we want to know where the bookmarks are stored on your computer?
This might help you restore/backup/modify your bookmarks locally.
So, for this, we need to locate the exact file (or folder) where Google Chrome saves the bookmarks. The file path will depend on the OS you are running on (Windows, macOS or Linux).

Important Things To Note
Before proceeding to locate the file/folder where Google Chrome bookmarks exist, you should know about a few things (if you were not aware already):
- You probably do not want to delete or modify the bookmark folder/file unless you are sure that you no longer need it.
- If you want to copy-paste the file just to transfer the bookmarks onto another PC, you should consider signing in (and syncing) your Google account on Chrome.
- If you do not have multiple profiles (or multiple users) using the browser, you can easily locate the bookmark folder by spotting the 'Default' or 'Profile 1' folder in the storage path discussed later in the article.
- In case multiple users are utilizing Google Chrome, you have to make sure which profile is it (the storage path will differ accordingly). For instance, Profile 2 folder for another user.
Windows: In What Folder Are Google Chrome Bookmarks Stored?
Google Chrome bookmarks are stored in a hidden folder on Windows. Here's how you can locate the bookmarks store:
1. First, you will have to head into your Windows system drive.
2. Once inside, you will notice a 'Users' folder. If you are the only user, you can just navigate your way to the folder with your username. For instance, my PC has only one user, so I opened up the folder 'ANKUSH' (that's my system name). In case you have multiple users, you have to decide accordingly.
3. Now, you have to enable the option to view the hidden files. We already have an article on how to view hidden files – if you're not sure how to do it.
4. Once done, you just have to follow this storage path:

Google Chrome: /home/YOUR USERNAME/.config/google-chrome/Default/
Chromium: /home/YOUR USERNAME/.config/chromium/Default/
Also, note that the folder can be in the format of 'Profile 1/2.' instead of Default.
