Access Bookmark Manager:
- Click on the three vertical dots (menu) in the top-right corner of the browser.

Open the Export Option:
- In the Bookmark Manager, click on the three vertical dots (menu) in the top-right corner.

Save the File:
- A dialog box will appear, prompting you to save the bookmarks file. Choose a location on your computer where you want to save the file.
- The file will be saved in HTML format, which can be imported into other browsers or kept as a backup.
