if I find an apt package to install a chrome derived browser, will it find all my multiple profiles wit their bookmarks, cache, etc, or will I have to start all over again?
please answer me like I'm a pre-2000 mainframer (which I am).
Hi Carey, You absolutely don't want to save your cache. By definition it's temp stuff that goes out of date. Bookmarks: Every browser has its own bookmarking system, and that sucks. I have a bookmarking system that runs *outside* of any browser, so it's universal across many browsers and if necessary make it available across your LAN. As I remember, it's native format is a tab indented outline, and the program consists of a python program and a shellscript. It never screws up so I long ago forgot exactly how it works, but later I can post the python program and shellscript, along with a small tab indented outline, to this mailing list. I think you can obtain a text list of bookmarks from Chrome, and then type it into the tab indented outline. HTH, SteveT SteveT Steve Litt http://444domains.com
