Did not love much for XMarks as it copied and duplicated the bookmarks.
The Chrome's own feature of synchronizing the bookmarks over multiple devices is good.
Is there a way to extract the links I have bookmarked so far in Chrom browser with the Categories that I have created and classified for my bookmarks?
Does any API exist to read those Google Chrome's bookmarks directly from their server?
Do you want the raw links or the bookmarks transfered to another browser. If you want the bookmarks for another browser, use the import option on that particular browser. IE and FF gives you the option on first run to import 'local' bookmarks from another browser. As for the raw links, you may have to look into your 'ApplicationData' folder of chrome, not exactly sure which folder... try: C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default

I'm teaching a Year7 class via Zoom on writing HTML, and I have one student on an iPad (the rest are on desktops/laptops), and they're not able to get their webpage to open in Safari (I'm using Chrome on Windows, which of course is simply a matter of double-clicking on the file). I'm trying to see what she sees, but I think Zoom is possibly not showing me the pop-up dialogues. She is using Notes to write the page (which looked to be the closest iOS equivalent to Notepad).
I Googled and sent her a few blogs, but still not working. I said she needs to click on Share and look for something like "copy path to file" or "copy link", and then paste that into the Safari address bar. She said when she did that Safari was showing the source code, not the rendered page. When she just taps the file it opens in Notes, not Safari. That made me suspect her file was actually index.html.txt (she tells me she has extensions switched on), but when I sent her my own file, which is definitely only index.html, she says the same thing is happenning.
Is anyone able to give me some definite step-by-step instructions (this is for a Year 7 student) on how to open their local HTML page in Safari?
thanks,
Donald.
Safari iPad no longer supports access to local or iCloud files. A number of iPadOS apps will however allow a user to view, edit, and test html code in files stored in local iPad, iCloud, or third party (e.g. Google or Dropbox) storage folders. One needs only to search in the App Store for “html editor” to see the list. Some of the apps have features that rival or exceed those found in tools on desktop (laptop) systems.
I had the same issue today on ios15.
There is a free app called Koder available on the App Store which will let you edit and view the HTML file. I’m no expert but the editor looks pretty fully featured at first glance.
Sorry to say but an iPad is obviously not the best place for simple HTML editing. At least not with the default apps available on iOS.
Given an existing HTML File one can use Files app to navigate to it and open it with double click. This will open the file in a very simple viewer wich is at least able to render the HTML. As a developer i bet its using WKWebView which is basically Safari's HTML View.
Turns out Microsoft Edge, unlike Safari, can still open local html files. Discovered in this answer. To wit:
Install Microsoft Edge from the App Store
Open Files (or whatever file browsing app you like).
Open the file, then tap the Share button to send to another app.
Scroll across to "More...", choose Edge, and voila!
I have a very simple question I could not find answer for myself: I want links in OneNote to open in Chrome.
Note that the default browser is IE and I cannot change it (not admin etc).
Tried: "chrome_path url" - didn't work. Everything I could think about didn't work.
Please provide explicit solution so that link from within OneNote opens in Chrome rather than in IE.
To note, there are multiple links, so batch file won't do in this case.
Thank you in advance!
I had a little go with testing some ideas that I had though I'm very new to OneNote. It's easy enough to open Chrome from a hyperlink:
Select text to link
Add link
Select the file icon and navigate to chrome.exe. In my instance - C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe
I believe you cannot pass arguments to the exe as it is considered a security issue. This certainly used to be the case and I'm not sure if they have modified their thinking since. The only way I can think of is to create a batch file which includes your ideal website and link to the batch file:
"start chrome http://www.youtube.com"
I found two ways to do it, though neither is the perfect:
There is a 3rd party OneNote add-on which adds more browsers in the right-click menu. Though it is not free and maybe can't be installed on restricted computers.
It works only on OneNote docs which are saved onto Onedrive. Open the OneNote page which has the links right in the Chrome, not in the desktop app. Then any links you click will open in the same browser. You can get the address of the OneNote page by clicking on 'Copy Link to Page' in OneNote app, then paste it to a notepad. Copy the first url to Chrome's address bar.
For those who has admin right, this problem can be solved by following Make Chrome your default browser. It is set at machine level, not onenote level.
I use the extension New Tab Wallpaper for Google Chrome. I am wondering if it's possible to modify it so that it doesn't show the annoying Settings button on the bottom right corner. Or at least doesn't appear unless you move your cursor down there.

Looking at the extension in the Chrome Web Store, it doesn't look like the author linked the project to a homepage or an open source code repository such as GitHub.
That being said, if you really wanted to alter the extension, you can find the code on your computer, see this answer regarding where to find the extension on your computer for various operating systems. A Google Chrome extension is simply HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
I have a test.html which uses multiple stylesheets. When opened the file from the local drive (not going through webserver), the styles were applied differently when compared to loading the files from webserver. Can this happen?. How to control this from happening?

As it was mentioned in comments, this looks like a browser caching issue.
A web cache stores copies of documents passing through it; subsequent requests may be satisfied from the cache if certain conditions are met.

Try hitting F5 to refresh the page or disable cache. Usually, it is done through the Developer Tools in a browser (F12).
I tried looking for a Chrome extension that does this, but was unsuccessful in finding one. Basically, I want to hit a web service that returns a content type header of application/rdf+xml or application/xml and have Chrome automatically display the content inline. I have the XML Tree extension which displays the XML just fine, but Chrome by default will download files unless they have a certain extension.
My question is: Is there a way to force Chrome to open certain things inline based on Content-Type returned from the server? Extension or direct support in Chrome is fine with me. If one doesn't exist, I'll investigate developing one.
Great question, one I've been trying to answer for ages. Unlike firefox, chrome, and chromium, use an external xdg mime-type query to decide what helper applications to use, but one generally doesn't want to set chrome as a generic handler for application/rdf+xml. So I was very pleased to discover the chrome extension "application/...+json|+xml as inline." Available from the web store, or at
