According to: Import bookmarks, history, and passwords from other browsers in Safari on Mac - Apple Support

"Export bookmarks

  1. In the Safari app on your Mac, choose File > Export Bookmarks.
  2. The exported file is named “Safari Bookmarks.html.”
  3. To use the exported bookmarks in another browser, import the file named “Safari Bookmarks.html.”"

I hope it is not too late, but you can save your Bookmarks.

In Safari if you click on File in the menubar, from the

submenu click Export Bookmarks.

Another window will open where you can select where to save them to,

they are saved as an html document and can be used to

import into Safari on other macs or possibly other browser.

Html means hypertext markup language, is often used in web pages.

You can read here, https://study.com/academy/lesson/what-is-an-html-document-structure-types-examples.html


As your Bookmarks grow or if you delete some you can export the list using the method above

you can give each export a different name if you want to keep a record of them all.

Yes you can just overwrite the previous bookmark html if you want, I was just suggesting that if you have deleted

or added bookmarks you may want to keep a record of each set, the html is very small in size, so there are no problems of it eating up valuable disk space.

It's your mac, do what you like with it, think things out for yourself.
