Dear PC Doctor:

I recently started using Google Chrome as my main internet browser.  I used to use Internet Explorer.   I'd like to keep my same favorite sites bookmarked.  Is there a way to do that easily, or do I have to visit each site individually and mark them again?


Thanks,

    Georgette

Dear Georgette:

Yes!  There is a relatively easy way to import your IE favorites into
Google Chrome.  Follow these steps:
 

• Launch Google Chrome by double-clicking on its icon on your desktop.
• Once Chrome is open, click on the three horizontal lines located in the upper right corner of the window.
• Click on Bookmarks.
• Click on the Import bookmarks and settings.
• Choose Microsoft Internet Explorer from the pull-down menu.
• Click in the boxes next to the items you want to import (Browsing history, Favorites/Bookmarks, Saved passwords, Search engines)
• Click Import.
• Wait while your items are imported, then click the Close button when it is finished.

Note: This will also work easily with your Mozilla Firefox bookmarks.

Until next time...happy computing!
