Hello

  1. press Ctrl+ J [ it will open downloads window / Library]
  2. Click on all bookmarks [in left side of window]
  3. Click On import and backup
  4. then click on backup and save the file on desktop.
  1. Transfer that .json file to your mac.

On mac follow above steps and instead of backup choose restore and choose file.

That only does bookmarks and history.
