Chrome Reading List export

The easiest way to export the chrome reading list is to use takeout.google.com and to export the Chrome details. On my Google workspace account, this wasn't possible.

Instead, I navigated to chrome://sync-internals/ on the sync node browser tab and ran this javascript code in the console:

[
  ...$("#sync-node-tree")
    .shadowRoot.querySelector("#tree-item-autogen-id-17")
    .shadowRoot.querySelectorAll(".leaf"),
].map((row) => row.detail.payload);

(The shadowRoot has its own query selector function separate from the window of the console.)

Then, I right clicked the result to paste it into a text editor and save as a json file

Here's a sample of what you can expect to get:

The following is one particular chrome reading list item
