These bookmarks can then be imported into any web browser.\n\nThis addresses the lack of a pinned tabs export feature in Arc Browser.\n\n## Requirements\n\n- Python 3.x\n- Arc Browser installed\n\n## Installation\n\n1. Clone the repository: `git clone https://github.com/iamfitsum/arc-export-windows.git`\n2. Navigate to the project folder: `cd arc-export-windows`\n\nor download using `curl`:\n\n```sh\ncurl -o main.py https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iamfitsum/arc-export-windows/main/main.py\n```\n\n## Usage\n\n### Finding `StorableSidebar.json` in Windows\n\n1. Enable \"Show hidden files\" by clicking **View** on the top navigation bar of the File Explorer, then clicking on **Show** and checking the **Hidden items**.\n2. Navigate to `C:\\Users\\{UserName}\\AppData\\Local\\Packages\\TheBrowserCompany.Arc_ttt1ap7aakyb4\\LocalCache\\Local\\Arc`.\n3. Copy the `StorableSidebar.json` file to the directory where you placed `main.py` (i.e., the cloned project folder or the folder where you downloaded `main.py`).\n\nThen, run the `main.py` script from the command line:\n\n```sh\npython3 main.py\n\n# or if there is an error:\npython main.py\n```\n\n## How It Works\n\n1. **Read JSON**: Reads the `StorableSidebar.json` file and fixes any malformed escaping\n2. **Detect Container**: Automatically finds the container with the most bookmark data\n3. **Convert Data**: Converts the JSON data into a hierarchical bookmarks dictionary\n4. **Generate HTML**: Transforms the bookmarks dictionary into an HTML file\n5. **Write HTML**: Saves the HTML file with a timestamp, allowing it to be imported into any web browser\n\n## Recent Improvements\n\n- **Enhanced JSON parsing**: Handles malformed URL escaping that can occur in Arc exports\n- **Smart container detection**: Automatically finds the correct data container instead of assuming a specific structure\n- **Better error handling**: Graceful handling of various Arc export formats and structures\n- **Improved documentation**: Clear function documentation and meaningful error messages\n\n## Acknowledgments\n\nThis project is based on the [arc-export](https://github.com/ivnvxd/arc-export) project by [ivnvxd](https://github.com/ivnvxd). Thank you for the original work!\n\n## Contributions\n\nContributions are very welcome.
