Chrome History

Google Chrome annoyed me.  A couple of weeks ago I read this article on time.com's website: Is Human Nature Fundamentally Selfish or Altruistic? Therefore, that website URL should be in my Chrome history . Since I wanted to refer back to this particular article for a comment I was making on Google+, I went to Chrome ==> History and used the search function to search my Chrome history. I tried searching 'time.com" and Chrome could not, or would not, find that page in my history. I tried searching "children behavior," also with no success.

Chrome, Ubuntu to Win 7

Okay, so fast forward a few months and I'm on my brand spanking new laptop and while I've been able to get my files and whatnot off the old harddrive, I was wondering if there is a way to get my bookmarks from the Ubuntu Chrome and move them over to the Win7 Chrome. More importantly, if I could get the tabs I had open at the time, that would be great. But I can forgo the tabs if I could get to my bookmarks from that older Chrome set-up. Any advice? A how-to, or link to a guide?

Try this. It's so easy, but you need to have Chrome for Linux installed first.
