Help Transferring Bookmarks - Two Browsers

I recently downloaded the Brave Browser per a suggestion from a nice member on here.
I am trying to transfer the bookmarks from Chrome to the Brave Browser. I have a couple of questions for you smart folks!

1. Well the bookmarks aren't moving, after I follow the directions.
2. Will they also stay in Chrome once I get them moved?

Has anyone had this issue?

Thank you in advance!

How many bookmarks are we talking about here?

Would it be feasible to just go to the bookmarked page in one browser, copy the link, paste it in the replacement browser, save it as a bookmark and repeat until all bookmarks are replicated in the new browser?

I have, like, 16 bookmarks I care about. This forum, gog.com and the rest are my favorite comic strips. But I know some people with hundreds of bookmarks (that even they admit they will probably never get around to.)

My phone says:

To transfer bookmarks from Chrome to Brave browser, open Brave, go to the bookmarks menu, select "Import bookmarks and settings", and choose Chrome from the list of browsers to import from; this will allow you to transfer your Chrome bookmarks to Brave.

Is this the instructions you already followed and they didn't work?

Yes I did that already and they did not transfer. That was the 1st thing I did.

If it were me, I'd try to follow those directions one more time and see if you get the same result, or if you succeed.

Then see if you can find anything helpful in this thread: https://community.brave.com/t/window-10-cant-import-bookmarks-and-setting-from-chrome-to-brave/48830

Why did you switch from Chrome to Brave?
.

I remember this one. During the great Chrome update debacle that disabled, among other things, reactions on this forum for anybody using Chrome, Microsoft edge, Opera or any other chrome-based browser, somebody suggested switching to brave browser.

I guess if you don't like Firefox and Chrome is acting up at the moment, brave is a viable alternative.

To be able to use memes or whatever they are called.

I did not switch yet, it's just downloaded. I might not bother (ha-ha)

Yes, a viable option indeed.

I'm just not sure it is worth this trouble. I d k.

To use the forum reactions you mean?
Like a laugh, or a disagree or an agree reaction?

Yes that's what I meant.

My brain, where did it go?

You don't need a new browser.
Update Chrome. Go to 3 dots on the top right, go to Help, then about and update from there.
Reactions will be working after the update.

Don't know if you got this resolved, but if it were me, I'd export your Chrome bookmarks as an .html file. You can do that from the Chrome bookmark manager. Then import that same file in Brave. Don't know if that'll work for you, but that's what I always do.
