Export Chrome bookmarks
Start by exporting bookmarks.html from Chrome
Chrome exports bookmarks into one HTML file. GoToNav reads it, previews folders and duplicate URLs, then imports selected groups into a local start page.

The export file is only useful when you can clean it up.
bookmarks.html is good for backup, but not for daily cleanup. Put it into a working surface before importing everything.
The Chrome export menu is easy to miss.
The HTML file is readable but hard to edit.
You may worry that import will change original Chrome bookmarks.
Export steps
Choose export
Open the three-dot menu and choose Export bookmarks.
Upload to GoToNav
Upload bookmarks.html, preview it, then import selected groups.
What to check after export
Duplicate URLs
See duplicate URLs before import. Duplicates are skipped by default.
Large groups
Groups with dozens of links should be cleaned up first.
Local storage
Guest imports stay in this browser and do not edit original Chrome bookmarks.
FAQ
Does exporting delete Chrome bookmarks?
No. Exporting only creates an HTML file.
Can I import the same file twice?

Does the file have to be uploaded to cloud?
No. In guest mode it is parsed in the browser and stored locally.
Preview the export before importing.
Check folders and duplicates first.
