What is a BOOKMARKS file?
BOOKMARKS files mostly belong to Google Chrome. BOOKMARKS files are used to store web browser bookmark data, primarily for Google Chrome. They are saved in JSON, a structured text format that organizes links and associated metadata.
These files contain information such as URLs, page titles, and folder hierarchies. This structure makes it easy to import and export bookmarks, synchronize them across devices, and back them up.
You can view the content by opening it in any text editor like Notepad or via the browser's bookmark manager. Manual edits should be done with care since changes outside the browser may cause sync issues.
