Used to be great, but with latest release, when I go to view my saved bookmarks, Chrome memory starts at 500 MB< then immediately goes to 2500MB, climbs to 4500MB and then Chrome crashes, every time. Need to remove until fixed.
This is a very useful extension, but If we could choose a location to save the backups, It would be even better.
for anyone curious about the location of the current backups, I installed a program called "FolderChangesView", closed all other programs and background apps on my windows, and then made and deleted a new backup in chrome, and I saw that there were changes made in 1 location in my chrome folder:
"C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Local Extension Settings\eocfcfklbhdgkilphhkcpcgaollminlf"
I observed the content of this location after making and deleting another bookmark and I saw that there were changes made there. Of course even knowing the location of the stored backups is not useful, but in case you are curious about their location, at least you know where they are now.
Cannot backup bookmarks without website title (which only shows favicon).
