Oh, I had actually given up on this, so I am grateful you provided that link. I will definitely try it out now.

Been looking for this for so long. I think the script can be executed by Automator instead of chron. Can you add the option to import specifically? Like, I want to import only Bookmarks and History.

Did someone get this error too?

execution error: System Events got an error: Can’t get menu item "Google Chrome.app…" of menu "Import From" of menu item "Import From" of menu "File" of menu bar item "File" of menu bar 1 of process "Safari". (-1728)
