Chrome has a built-in reading list feature, located at the top right of your browser.

At any point of the day, you may stumble upon an article that catches your attention. You want to deep dive into it, but maybe you've been working on something else. In such cases, you can add the current page to your reading list. Like so:

What if you want to share a couple of links with your friends or colleagues? Or organize your reading list in creative ways?

Chrome offers a way to export it easily with a few clicks. The prerequisite to using this service is that your google account should be `synced`. Click `Turn on sync` to enable this feature if you haven't.

Now, creating a new export consists of two steps: Selecting data to include & Choose file type, frequency, and file destination. Follow the next 10 steps to export your reading list.

1. Visit <a href="https://takeout.google.com/?hl=en&pli=1" target="_blank">Google Takeout page</a>.
