If you're trying to import/export bookmarks, though, you're probably better off exporting them from the user interface. In the Wrench menu, go to Bookmarks Manager, then click Organize, then either "Import Bookmarks" or "Export Bookmarks". This lets you import/export your bookmarks using a standard HTML file that other browsers can also import/export.

The path is ~/.config/google-chrome/<profile>/Bookmarks ("Default" default) on my machine... –  Andrioid Aug 21 '11 at 12:52

I'm not the one who voted you down, but this isn't very helpful--it's the equivalent of posting a link to a Google search. –  Sasha Chedygov Sep 19 '10 at 0:16
Geez, I don't spoon feed people, if you want to learn about google chrome, its best to use Chromes help, its the best help there is, besides they might learn something more than the original question in the process. Teach a person to fish, don't just give them a fish to eat, thats welfare. Thanks for your support of the down vote. –  Moab Sep 19 '10 at 16:25
