Recovering bookmarks from dead drive. Can access drive but can not run old brave app

Browser Support

My main drive crashed on my windows computer.

I have a new hard drive and am reinstalling Brave and have access to the Brave files on the dead drive. Is there a way to import my bookmarks from files without having to export them?

Thank you

Yeah, just grab your User Data folder that’s within the \brave-browser on that drive. An example of location on a Windows device would be C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\User Data\

That folder is 3.75 GB on the drive where I am trying to recover the bookmarks. I don’t want to have to purchase recovery software just for getting my bookmarks. Do I really need that whole user data folder?
