I need to know this because often people lose their favorites.

Microsoft Edge | Microsoft Edge development

    Hi @DisabledLivesMatter ,

    You'll find the Microsoft Edge (Chromium) bookmarks/favourites over here:

    • C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Default\Bookmarks

    ("Bookmarks" is the actual file).


    (If the reply was helpful please don't forget to upvote and/or accept as answer, thank you)

    Best regards,
    Leon

    Bookmarks are now stored in C:\Users\ <UserName>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Profile If you sign in to Edge, Profile will be called Profile 1 \ Profile 2 \ Profile 3 \ etc If you do not sign in to Edge, the folder is called 'Guest Profile'

    The file called 'Bookmarks' is in there.

    Note: Other useful files in that folder to backup or copy are Custom Dictionary.txt, FavIcons, History, Preferences

    This is an image that shows the address to get to Favorites/Bookmarks. This shows where they are located, you must scroll down to find them.
