How to import exported Chrome bookmarks to Android phone?

Si_Clist

This is day 2 of me trying to set up the new Samsung A17 I had to buy when I lost my A14, and believe me it's no fun when you're nearly 80 and you don't have grandkids to help.

All I want to do is import an HTML file of Chrome bookmarks which I've exporrted from my laptop. I don't want to use that Google synch business as I get in an even bigger muddle with it.

I've even managed to get the file into "documents" on my phone, but how on earth do I actually import it from there into Chrome? Google says to use an app from the Play store, but the ones it uses as an example don't seem to be there, and I can't make any sense of the others I looked at.

Can somebody please help before I retire to a dark corner and start whimpering?

As you've found, Chrome on Android does not natively support importing local HTML bookmark files directly from your phone’s storage.

There may be apps that can do this but if you've looked and they don't/won't work, so be it.

The Samsung browser does support the import of HTML files, you could try that, don't know about other browsers.

By far the easiest way is to synchronise your account across devices, if you wanted to give that a go then I'm sure we could find a step-by-step guide, don't think it's too hard.

Thank you. I'm allergic to Google Synch but it's worth a try with the Samsung browser.
