Open CHB File

CHB files are not very well-known and there are not many platforms or software that can open such files. In general, a .chb file is known as a Chrome Web Browser File. However, there might be other types of files or usages that have an extension .chb. Being unfamiliar with this type of file can lead to difficulties in opening or using it.

Chrome Web Browser Files (CHB)

Google Chrome is a highly popular web browser used by millions around the globe. Chrome allows bookmark and history backups where all specific information is generally stored under a .chb file. These files can only be accessed and utilized through Google Chrome itself. To import bookmarks from a .chb file, click on the three vertical dots in the top right corner of the browser, then select Bookmarks > Import bookmarks and settings. Users need to select Bookmark HTML file from the drop-down list and click Choose File to upload the .chb file. More on this can be found on Google's Support Page here.

Other Potential CHB Files

While Google Chrome is the primary software known to use .chb files, there might be other applications or software that use .chb files for their own specific purposes. As software developers have the freedom to use any file extension they want for their applications, it's possible that a .chb file you're trying to open might be different from a Chrome Bookmark file. In such cases, the file can generally be opened by the software it's associated with. If you're unsure, it might be helpful to look at the file in a text editor, and see if there are any identifiable strings that could indicate the software that created or uses it.

Many online file conversion tools exist to facilitate the conversion process. One of the most popular is Zamzar zamzar.com. However, please note that the success of file conversion largely depends on the type of data stored in the chb file.
