Android bookmarks are stored in the internal storage of the device, specifically within the browser app’s data directory. Each browser on Android, such as Google Chrome, Firefox, or Samsung Internet, has its own location for storing bookmarks. However, generally speaking, you can find Android bookmarks in the following directory:
/data/data/com.android.browser/app_bookmarks/
Please note that accessing this directory requires root access to your Android device. Without root access, it is not possible to directly view or modify the bookmark file. It is recommended to use the browser’s built-in bookmark management system or sync your bookmarks with a cloud service to ensure easy access and backup.

How do I extract bookmarks from Android?
Extracting bookmarks from an Android device can be done in several ways, depending on the web browser you are using. Here are the general steps to extract bookmarks from popular Android web browsers:
1. Google Chrome: Open the Chrome app on your Android device and tap on the three-dot menu in the top-right corner. From the menu, select "Bookmarks" or "Favorites" and then tap on "Bookmark manager" or "Bookmark" to access your saved bookmarks. You can then choose to export your bookmarks as an HTML file or sync them with your Google account.
2. Mozilla Firefox: Launch the Firefox app on your Android device and tap on the three-dot menu in the top-right corner. Choose "Bookmarks" from the menu, and then select "Show All Bookmarks" to access your bookmarks. From the bookmarks screen, tap on the three-dot menu again and select "Import/Export" or "Export Bookmarks" to save your bookmarks as an HTML file.
3. Samsung Internet: Open the Samsung Internet app on your Android device and tap on the bookmark icon at the bottom of the screen (usually looks like a star). From the bookmarks screen, tap on the three-dot menu and select "Export" or "Download" to save your bookmarks as an HTML file.
4. Other browsers: If you are using a different web browser, the process may vary slightly. Look for options like "Bookmarks," "Favorites," or "Manage Bookmarks" in the app’s menu or settings to find a way to export your bookmarks as an HTML file.
Remember to check your Android device’s storage or cloud services to find the exported HTML file if that option is available. Once you have the HTML file, you can import it into another web browser on the same or a different device to access your bookmarks.
