I prefer Firefox too, and have used it since version .8 (released in
early 2004, not the first version of the browser but the first to be
called Firefox).

They (browsers) all have disadvantages, but FF seems to have the smallest.

MSEdge does have Export now. They were careful to not hint
at it, by labeling the menu with the good news, but
it's there.

I actually had to "read the manual" :-)

Don't you hate when that happens ?

Ah! That's hilarious! You have to enter the "Import bookmarks from
another browser" menu to discover there is also an export button there!
Gotta love that new way of doing things eh? No more Control Panel where
every choice (every icon) meant what it was called, noooo, now we have 6
top-level Settings categories, where half the stuff underneath makes no
sense that it was placed in that category...

if Win 10 is so great where are the bookmarks ?

All Windows should allow bookmarking so the deep ones that are most
of interest can be immediately brought forward whenever needed.

What do I gotta do, write my own code to do this ?
Yes, I can write that code but why should I ?

If you want a toy to play with, you can investigate this.

Good answer, but you were more talkative earlier, lol -

The output file is booby-trapped two ways.

1) The filename has a hidden character in front of each date
string group. Some tools don't like that character. I edited
the filename and removed the vertical sliver in front of each
date group.

2) Internally, the file is text, but it has a three character
UTF8 BOM. In Win10, open in Wordpad and print to PDF, then
copy the content out for other uses.

The "noise" in the file is the favicon. Or at least looks like it.

This is one bookmark of the two test bookmarks in my MSEdge browser.
The BOM before the first "" did not get copied.

!DOCTYPE NETSCAPE-Bookmark-file-1

It will be read and overwritten.

It loads in Firefox, unfortunately, they are all HREFs, so you only see
the name of the bookmark, you can't copy/paste and have the name and the
URL (say you wanted to load that up into Excel). But it probably imports
find in browsers that support importing from HTML...

You've used it a lot longer than I have.

Yes, no browser (or any other kind of software) is perfect. Or perhaps
a better way to say that is that we all have different needs as well
as different likes and dislikes. If I got Mozilla to modify FireFox to
make it exactly what I liked, you would still think it had
disadvantages. And vice versa.

There are people who like a Chrome a lot; I think it's only slightly
better than Edge. There are even those who like Edge. We're all
different. That's why with almost any kind of software my standard
recommendation is to ignore my preferences and everyone else's and try
several of the competing products and choose the one you like best
