# - Run the script to get bookmarks: ./chromium-bookmarks.sh

# Prints bookmarks when provided a Chromium/based browser profile directory.
# Params:
#   $1: Profile dir, where "Bookmarks" file lives
function extract_chromium_bookmarks() {

		# This brings in name (title), type and url - separated by a line of "--"
		grep -EB2 '"url":' "$1/Bookmarks" | \
		# We don't need the type line
		sed '/"type":/d' | \
		# We don't need the '--' line either
		sed '/^--$/d' | \
		# Join lines into one single line, so that it can be processed by grep
		sed -e ':a' -e 'N' -e '$!ba' -e 's/\n//g' | \
		# Find the title and url and show them on output
		sed -n -e 's|\s*"name": "\([^"]*\)"[^"]*"url": "\([^"]*\)"|\1 -> \2\n|pg'

# Holds the profile directory. The directory where the "Bookmarks" file lives.
# Set it to your Chromium/based browser's profile directory.
# For example:
# - Iridium: "$HOME/.config/iridium/Default/"
# - Brave: "$HOME/.config/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/Default/"
# - Chromium: "$HOME/.config/chromium/Default/"
profile_dir="$HOME/.config/iridium/Default/"

# Finally, show the bookmarks!
