Python tool to download Google Chrome bookmarks for offline use on a Mac

The aim of this Python project is to traverse your Google Chrome bookmarks file and save each bookmark for offline use. The code uses a combination of the very useful urllib, requests and BeautifulSoup modules.

This is only an initial upload!!

The current flow of code is to do the following:

• Traverse the JSON bookmark file
• For each URL bookmark, scrape the web page
• Scrape all stylesheet links and combine them into a styles.css file for each bookmark
• Alter the web page stylesheet links to point to the new styles.css file
• Save the styles.css file and the web page .html file

Current limitations/To Do

• Recursive algorithm to traverse the bookmarks file needs to keep track of the file path tree so saved bookmarks appear on the filesystem exactly as they do in Chrome
• Save images
• Further tuning of CSS collection
• Parallelise the collector
• Log to file
• Allow changing of output location/bookmark file locations via a config option
• Allow it to be run as an executable
• Possibly enhance to include Firefox/Safari
• Possibly enhance to work with Windows/Linux Chrome installations
