Method 1: Manually Copy URLs from Speed Dial
1.Open your Chromium browser.
2.In a new tab, you’ll see the Speed Dial area displaying your most visited sites.
3.Right-click on any Speed Dial icon and choose Copy Link Address (the option may vary depending on your browser version).
4.Paste the copied URL into a text file or wherever you prefer to save it.
This method is good if you have a small number of Speed Dial shortcuts.
Method 2: Access Chromium Profile Files
Chromium stores Speed Dial data in its profile files. If you’re comfortable with technical steps, you can access these files to extract the URLs. Here’s how:
1.Locate the Chromium User Data Directory:
Linux: ~/.config/chromium/Default/
Windows: C:Users
2.Find the Preferences File: Inside the Default folder, look for the Preferences file. This is a JSON file that contains browser settings, including Speed Dial information.
3.Parse the JSON File: Open the Preferences file, and you’ll see a structure similar to this:
"recently_visited_urls": [ "https://example.com", "https://another-site.com" ]
You can extract the URLs from this section.
4.Extract and Save: You can copy these URLs manually, or write a simple script to extract and save them automatically.
Method 3: Use a Browser Extension
If you prefer a more convenient solution, you can use an extension to export your Speed Dial URLs. For example:
Speed Dial [FVD] extension: This extension offers Speed Dial functionality and allows you to back up and restore your Speed Dial setup, including the URLs of your shortcuts. You can use this extension to easily export and import Speed Dial links.
These methods should help you export your Speed Dial URLs from Chromium.
