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.

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

[hyacinthcallam]

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

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

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.

LOVE THE TIP REGARDING SHORTENING NAMES AND HAVING MORE ROOM!

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

[PahlaB]

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!!

[charlieb]

This was very helpful when i put mine in alpa order and wanted specific bookmarks on top. Way to go!!

[wg]

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!

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.

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

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.

[PoeCommunicateATL]

Great radio voice. Makes the presentation enjoyable. IJS.

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.

[rmrcxig]

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

[michaelbaker]

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

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 :)
