How To Export Import Bookmarks in HTML Format in Chrome and Microsoft Edge

Having a bookmark file in HTML format has a few benefits. Not only can you use it as a backup file to import to other browsers but you can also open it up directly in any browser and open the sites listed in your bookmarks right from there.
