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.
A couple of themed collections - as I want to check certain pages and blogs on regular basis and they mostly have a regular update, so a group for Monday and group for Tuesday, etc... ... also each is still in a later group by type, so news and photography and books sites are also collected together.
A note- This option works for an 'independent bookmark' and 'for a folder that has independent bookmarks' BUT doesn't seem to work 'for a folder that has sub-folders that further have those multiple bookmarks (webpages)' . At least doesn't seem to work for me. Great suggestion though.
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!!
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 .....
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!
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!!!
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
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
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 :)
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.
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.
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?
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.
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 😀
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.
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.
Just wanted to share that there’s a new tab extension out there that helps with both productivity and bookmark management. It even offers customizable wallpapers, which is a nice touch.
⚠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!!
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.
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.
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 have 6 folders and 25 of my most-used bookmarks saved to the Bookmarks Bar. They all fit on my screen because I delete the name of the bookmark and rely on the bookmark logo to identify the site. I also arrange the bookmarks alphabetically so I can quickly access it.
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.
Hey Scott - Hope you are safe and doing well! Thanks for sharing these tips. Have a little more time on my hands and wanted to detoxify my bookmarks. This will be really helpful. Stay safe!
Open your Bookmarks Manager and create a bookmark of it on the left side of your bookmarks bar for quick access. You can then search your own bookmarks for pages you have bookmarked in the past and keep your bookmarkes more organised with quick access.
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
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".
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
I have a problem with my bookmark manager, It only shows some of my books and looks like it is repeated 3 times. If I use the bookmark icon bar it will list all my bookmarks and in the right order. This just happened a couple of days ago. Yesterday I added a bookmark and then tired bookmark manager and everything corrected itself. Couple of hours later and the manager was all wrong again.
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.
I hope you do one of these on how to keep Google from disorganizing my bookmarks or not keeping them organized. I perfer A-Z format and hve all bookmarks in those folders but Google seeme to hate it because it creates folders and tabs on its own and creates duplicate letter folders like 24 A folders, 14 B, 17 Y and so on. I have taken lots to time to reorganize them but Google just seems to mess them all up again. Can you help me, anyone?
Want to get more out of your Google apps?
Watch how to use Gmail, Keep Notes, and Google Calendar together: bit.ly/2UIn0Hz
Possible for you to do a video on features and tips for Google classroom.
It will be quite helpful to students as well as teachers.
Thanks for the suggestion!

do u mean scroll click??
@@dominichutt3460 Yes, you are correct. I guess the modern mouse, it's both a scroll wheel and button.
A note- This option works for an 'independent bookmark' and 'for a folder that has independent bookmarks' BUT doesn't seem to work 'for a folder that has sub-folders that further have those multiple bookmarks (webpages)' . At least doesn't seem to work for me. Great suggestion though.
thanks man really helpful
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.
Yes! I love doing this in Chrome, but In IE you have to have at least one character in the name.
@@williambach2790 In the new version of Microsoft Edge (Chromium), which will replace IE, you can just show the icon only.
Nice job! Thanks for sharing your experience, Michael.
I do this with youtube
I do th e same thing
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!!
You are so welcome, Pahla. Thank you so much for your kind words!
"Open All Four" Wow, what a cool trick! I always learn something. Thanks Scott!
You are most welcome, James.
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 .....
THANK YOU FOR THIS...IT TOOK OVER AN HOUR BUT NOW MOST OF MY BOOKMARKS ARE ORGANIZED
Great radio voice. Makes the presentation enjoyable. IJS.
Thanks, Janita.
4:26 With recent versions of Windows you can also use the Windows Key and period key to open the emoji menu. Nice video!
Great tip. Thanks for sharing.

My Son Has Bookmarks From A To Z Saved On His Chrome, And Has A Website Starting With All 26 Letters. He Put His Bookmarks In Alphabetical Order
That can be a great system as well. Thanks for sharing!
I do the same thing. On my desktop, I have 4 folders A - F; G - L; M - R; S -Z . . . my topics go into the right folder on my desktop
LOVE THE TIP REGARDING SHORTENING NAMES AND HAVING MORE ROOM!
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!
Glad it was helpful!

Could you make a video about password management? I've thought about it and can't decide how to deal with it.
Password Safe is great. Free. Open Source. One of the best password managers out there.
Very helpful. Thank you!

I wish we could change the colour of the folder for bookmarks.... would make it so much nicer on the eye
Thank You, very helpful!!!
You're welcome!
Did you cover how to save an article? I am at ad lost and WILL start over now.
Is there away of sharing bookarks in Chrome with specific people - if so demo appreciated!
How would I create a sub-folder that contains things I may need for Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, etc.? Thank you, 🙂
Loved the Emojipedia tip!
Very good and simple
Thank you so much 😊
Great info thanks💖💖💖
Glad it was helpful!
great video . thank you
I’ve created or added Bookmarks Manager to the first position on my bookmarks bar.
Awesome. Thanks for sharing!
Super nice tips
Thanks a lot
Is it possible to have 2 rows of bookmarks instead of the extras at the end of the bar?
No, at least not that I know of.
How do you arrange the bookmarks alphabetically without dragging each one individually?
5:35 You can also delete the whole name that it just shows the logo!
Gives you a lot of space for more icons!
Very true. Thanks for sharing!
Great as usual. Thanks.
My pleasure!
Nice tips, thank you.
My pleasure!
I have 6 folders and 25 of my most-used bookmarks saved to the Bookmarks Bar. They all fit on my screen because I delete the name of the bookmark and rely on the bookmark logo to identify the site. I also arrange the bookmarks alphabetically so I can quickly access it.
Also, when you hover over the bookmark logo with your pointer, the URL appears to help identify the bookmark.
Thank you so much for making my life easier :p
Thanks so much for watching and sharing your comments!
emojis are a good idea, those folders look very confusing on the long run, thank you!
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching!
Nice Job!
Thanks!
That's amazing! Thanks)😀
You are most welcome, Roman.
very helpfull.Thankyou!!
You're welcome!
Can you know the date a link has been bookmarked?
No, I don't think so.
