Right now when I import bookmarks from Chrome to Brave they all get nested into a folder called Imported from Chrome and then within there another folder called Bookmarks Bar.

Hi, @zackxoxo. I posted something along these lines in another thread recently. If this isn’t clear enough, let us know, but basically you go to your Chrome profile folder and copy the bookmarks file to your Brave profile folder. > [@New user needs Profile Clarification](https://community.brave.app/t/new-user-needs-profile-clarification/131391/3): > > To add a little to @Mattches’s info, inside the BraveSoftware folder (on Windows, macOS, and Linux) is a folder called Brave-Browser, and that holds all profile folders.
