3:22 You can also center (mouse button) click and it will open all the bookmarks in the folder. I do this every morning. I have a folder called Morning which contains all the things I check first thing in the morning.

Since I recognize the icons, I just went ahead and completely deleted the names. Only on Folders do I keep a name. Great video (as always). Thanks.

Just saved you as 'Boss' in my bookmark bar, you are respectfully to be adored. Such clear direction, pleasant and great precision. You've saved the day and are a delight. You have helped much more than I can say as confusion was driving me almost insane. Now I am relaxing and thankfully praying that blessing will follow you all the way. Thank you Sir, Have a Nice Day .....

What a quick clear precise video. Thank you for sharing the quick tip on opening multiple sites at the same time. First time watcher, but this video has me hooked for watching more quick efficient learning tips.

THANK YOU FOR THIS...IT TOOK OVER AN HOUR BUT NOW MOST OF MY BOOKMARKS ARE ORGANIZED

Oh my goodness, this was the most helpful thing I've ever watched (I think I say that about all your videos, lol)! I had NO idea that I could make folders or shorten the names. Thank you so much!!

"Open All Four" Wow, what a cool trick! I always learn something. Thanks Scott!

OMG! This cleared up sooooo much for me!! Love the emojipedia with the folders on the Bookmark Bar! Also showing me the "manage" bookmarks!! I new there had to be a way to search the bookmarks but never found how, so I know I have duplicates, maybe even triplicates of bookmarks! Just making folders of similar topics, like "organizing"! Boy do I need that! Thank you so much!!!

4:26 With recent versions of Windows you can also use the Windows Key and period key to open the emoji menu. Nice video!

Just did the very same a week before (Quarantine got us organizing and optimizing way more) and I cannot stress how much it has increased my productivity and reduced my time of searching on google. Another pointer is that when one syncs phone and PC by using chrome in both, there will be an additional Mobile Bookmarks Folder. Handy when we can segregate what we frequently access in mobile as well as pc separately. The initial thought of organizing my bookmarks was a nightmare (I had 300 bookmarks) but I was able to finish that within an hour. I'm so glad that I did. Bookmarks are kinda overlooked when it comes to browser-based productivity hacks but are pretty important nonetheless.

Thanks! that was very helpful. I watched the video to find out how to add a second bookmark bar, but I never realized that by just shortening the bookmark names I could fit several extra on the single bookmark bar. Perfect!

Thanks for the tip on using emoji's. Works well in Firefox as well. I normally have use the toolbar not so much for quick access but things I'm working on at the time, so they're easy to get through instead of wading through heaps of bookmarks. For stuff I regularly use (like GMail, Calendar and Keep), I just pin them and they become a small tab which is always open.

Wow, you are a lifesaver. Thank you so much for the types of content you are teaching!

Great video as always! I loved the emoji tip! Thanks so much. Keep up the great work!

Hi, Very nice to see a video for the #ChromeBookmarkBar, please find my tips below: Better ways to 1 - bookmark current tab = drag it from the lock icon to bookmarks bar. 2 - create a folder = right-click bookmarks bar and select a new folder. 3 - to move all bookmarks from one profile to another = copy from bookmarks manager and paste it to the other profiles manager. Recommendations: 1 - use icons only, for the most used websites to save more space = right-click the bookmark and edit the name to blank. 2 - play with themes you like, so that icons come more visible = themes @ App section 3 - Do not exceed the bookmark full space, so that you can see the end = drag bookmarks to folders, organize within the bar, and not going to bookmarks-manager. Thanks

LOVE THE TIP REGARDING SHORTENING NAMES AND HAVING MORE ROOM!

Great video. I pretty much knew most of this already, but seeing this made me actually do it. Thanks.

Fantastic. Now I feel so organised. Really helpful.

We need more such best videos especially during lockdown, we want more than one video a week please ...

Thanks man... it was a hectic thing to search for the files which I have book marked. every thing was messy but now I have clean stylish bookmarks bar... a peace of mind 😀

Oh my gosh!! Thank you so much. I learned a lot from this.

You have a talent for sharing info that so many youtubers don't posses, thank you for that. maybe I missed so I'll go over again but incase it isn't there I am wondering. Question; can i highlight several bookmarks & transfer to file at one time? I have hundreds and only 7 categories, doing one by one could take awhile.

I have learnt so much with you videos. I wanted to congratulate you for doing such a wonderful work helping others to be more productive.

Thank you for the useful tips, Scott! I really loved the video and just subscribed to the channel :D

You clever man!!!!!! Thank you for sharing these gems.

Very good tips, thank you Scott

i bumped into a problem where I want to share my bookmark folders with other users. If you google around, you find that google has updated the bookmark manager to a different interface. So I updated my google chrome but this update is not available. Nothing in the google chrom extensions either. 3 days has passed... still searching for this option.

YOOO THIS IS SUCH A GAME CHANGER WHY DIDNT I KNOW ABOUT THIS?>>>??!?!

Simpletivity: Thank you! I did learn 1 thing i didn't know before which is that you can put folders on the bookmarks bar. Cool!

Awesome video, Scott! I picked up some good tips for my bookmarks bar.

Hi Scott. I really enjoy your informative tutorials! I have watched and checked on past videos. I would like to see more about basic computer and Google pay vs. PayPal.

⚠i've one question, in bookmarks bar.. i've only few to show then a right arrow shows because of anothers are hidden, after press arrow we able to click that. how can we add most n most bookmarks in front of our eyes?? hope you got my question!!

For popular sites you can remove the name and keep only the icon of it will be enough, that way you can save too much space in the bookmark bar. For example you don't need a name beside google or youtube

Wow... great tutorial... I have a question...is their a way to setup the favorites bar so that bookmarks that are added are pinned to the left and not the right?

Beautiful tutorial! Thank you!

I have multiple profiles on chrome and would love to know if it's at all possible for there to be separate bookmark bars for each. So I don't want to see my casual / personal bookmarks when I switch to my art account as it's just so cluttered. Does that make sense? Can anyone help?

Great video! Very helpful. Thanks

Really helpful .Will be looking at this more than once.Thanks Simpletivity.

Thanks for this lesson!! I have book mark a lot on youtube, but not able to locate any. Can you help with that? I press the star but not able to find anything.

Hi!! I would love to change the FONT SIZE in BOOKMARK area but don't know how. Only that area. Can't find any videos. Can you help? thank you!

Your tips were really helpful. The bookmark folders was exactly what I wanted it had became terrible for me to manage bunch of bookmarks.

I have lot of folders and subfolders bookmarked but I think it is making my system slow, any suggestions please?

Thanks heaps..... worked a treat and edited my bookmarks! Made one happy teacher!

Very helpful. Thank you!

this is awesome :) thank you very much!

I came to this site to see if it has any info about what to do when the names I've given to Files on the bookmark bar disappear. Alas, it doesn't. I can see the File symbol but not the name attached to it. I'm using Chrome and Windows 10. Any help out there?

I use a chrome extension - recursive bookmark sorter. Brilliant

I’m just trying to get my pcs bookmarks to other devices I log into it always seems to be my old bookmarks from years ago and never uses my new ones

If I need to delete a folder in the "banner" of favorites at the top will that also delete EVERYTHING in that folder or will the contents of the folder still remain? Thank you for your help "community".

hey thanks for the extra info about bookmarks

Can the Bookmark Bar and Bookmark Menu work independently of each other? Safari behaves this way but for the life of me I can find a way to do this in Chrome.

Hi mate, do you know how to extend the bookmarks dropdown list? I can only have 18 on my dropdown on my desktop where as on my laptop it unlimited. I cant fin the answer anywhere. Cheers

This changed my life, thank you sir.

Great help. Thank you.

One more tip on this is while on Chrome and let's say you're on a site you want to bookmark you can drag and drop the url from the omnibox and drag it to one of the folders I described to you above. It's that simple. I do this all the time and it works like a charm. One true example is I have in my L folder a sub folder named LEFT OFF and I use this if I have to quickly get off a site to go to another site. I 1st highlight the entire url then I drag and drop the url into my LEFT OFF folder that's sitting in the L folder.

How do you get that little google icon by the extension?

There you go making my browser life easier. Thanks. Now I can remove a few pinned tabs.

Scott I wish you a very Merry Christmas and happy new year .

I do all these but how do you more easily org bookmarks when you have a huge list compiled over years. I use bookmark manager and move them into folders on the left but every time I move one it take me back to the top of the bookmarks list which is incredibly annoying and time consuming

How would I create a sub-folder that contains things I may need for Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, etc.? Thank you, 🙂

No way! Thank you for this tips Scott!

Thinking about trying Firefox is it safe and do you recommend it? Thanks

Very useful! thanks!

Loved the Emojipedia tip!

how do i put the bookmarks on the web page, not in the bookmark bar. I saw you had a few, I put a few there, but i don't know how i did it, and i've spent a few hours trying to figure it out. can you please help with this? new sub today. Thanks

Is it possible to automate all Chrome Bookmark Links to a txt file or word file before I uninstall it?

Thank you so much! :)

Normally when my Google Homepage first appears on my monitor (after booting up my PC) I see the Google search bar and the icons of my recently visited sites sitting below the bar. After I do a Google Chrome - 'More Tools - Clear Browsing Data' those icons have disappeared and when I visit those sites again the icons then re-appear automatically. However, recently no matter how many times I visit my usual websites none of them are appearing below my Google Search bar available for easy access. Anyone any ideas as to why this is ?

I'd like to know how to sort the Folders under Bookmark, rathe than the contents of the folder.

Great radio voice. Makes the presentation enjoyable. IJS.

Thanks so much for good Explenation Dear.

Simpletivity: Here's a bookmark tip I use... put on the bookmark bar 26 folders and name them of course a,b,c, etc and associate your folder with a website you want. example: in your G bookmark folder you can add a sub folder named GMAIL and place Gmail's bookmark in the sub folder or by itself. I also in G have a sub folder GO and I place bookmarks first 2 letters of the item in the GO folder (example: GOOGLE). All this to squeeze every bit of space on the bookmark bar.

I put my bookmarks bar in the order I want them and when I start up my computer they are all in alphabetical order and not the way I arranged them. How do I stop this from happening?

Very useful.Thanks a lot!

how i can select many websites in chrome favorite at once please

How do I use the color 9 dot Apps ?

Super helpful, thank you!

How do you arrange the bookmarks alphabetically without dragging each one individually?

so good this ,thans for all video

Thanks so much for this valuable informations

So I know this video is 2 years old but I just wanna say 1) thanks for the tips and tricks and 2) why doesn’t Google Chrome just implement some system or some way to change the folder icons. I know you can use extensions to change bookmarks themselves (not the folder), as well as other Chrome extensions to create a completely different sidebar for bookmarks that is independent from Google Chrome; not native. I really don’t want to do that because things can change and it’s overall much more simpler and easier to have the native data of bookmarks and the folders they are “housed” in instead of using a potential worrisome third party extension that can change at any moment. If you have any feedback, tips, or suggestions to this common issue I have been researching all over as of recently, any feedback would be greatly appreciated ❤ P.S. Thanks for this video as it is a compromise between a yellow folder but with the added addition of some “life” and “color” as you can sort or customize your folders using the emojis, as you stated, yet you can’t change the folder icon itself! Take care and stay safe :)

Just what i wanted!!!

Great vid! Thank you

Thank you for the useful tips... But I have a huge problem and not sure what to do. The order and sequence of the book mark bar with google chrome are always becoming disorganised. I clean them, i peut them in order, and they move again. I delete old one and I create folders, and the folders disappear and they become all disorganised and even the ones that I deleted come back. What is the problem and how to fix it please?

I'm mapping - almost l1:1 - our company's website (esp. the product catalogue part) to be able to navigate in it much faster. (It would be to have a tool that would do this mapping for me! Is there any???)

Nice tips, thank you.

very helpful video. THanks

Thanks scott

Now I'm having some fun! But I wanted an emoji for duplicate bridge games and can't find one. Anywhere? Lots of players online. I didn't know I could do any of this. Thanks.

Thanks useful tips

Will it work with Brave?
