How to Organize Bookmarks in Chrome: Latest Tweaks

Last Updated January 17, 2023 By Subhash D Leave a Comment

With time, the number of bookmarks increases and it really pains to manage a large number of bookmarks in the chrome bar. But there are a number of tweaks and chrome extensions that help to manage the bookmarks in a much better way. Here I have listed some of the simple tricks and extensions for quick and easy access to bookmarks in Google Chrome.

Bookmarks Management Tools & Tricks

Remove Web address

This trick will definitely help those who do not wish to click on more arrows again and again to open other bookmarks that are not appearing on a chrome bar. Open the Google Chrome control (three vertical dots) icon, Bookmarks>Bookmark Manager.

“Note: You can also open the bookmark manager alternatively using a shortcut way by pressing keys Ctrl+Shift+O. “

On clicking the bookmark manager option, you get a list of all the bookmarks saved with the option to take more actions.

Now here you can see the website text along with its favicon. Next, you need to click on the three vertical dots on the right of each bookmark. Now click on the edit option and you will get the following screen.

You can see two fields here. One is the Name and the other is the URL. Just remove the text in front of the Name field.  You will be left with only favicon. This way you can add more bookmarks in the bookmarks bar of Google Chrome. But remember you need to identify the website by its favicon.

Tagging

In the above method, you remove the text completely from the saved bookmark. Sometimes you are unable to recognize the bookmark just from its favicon. If that is the case with you, you can use this tagging option.

Here you can tag the website by your own identification name. Open the bookmarks manager, and in the name field, remove the text and add your own name\tag after the hashtag.

Create own Rules

We often keep cleanliness at our home and workplace, then why can’t we keep the bookmarks folder clean by deleting the unused or old bookmarks?

Just go through the list and be honest with yourself when analyzing each bookmark. Don’t forget to delete the bookmark that you have not used at least for two or more years. This is sure that you are not going to use them in near future. That’s for sure!

Chrome Extensions

The other tweak you can use to manage the bookmarks is the use of chrome extensions. Using them will surely increase productivity at work by optimizing the bookmark search.

Recent Bookmarks

Normally when you save a bookmark, the recent ones are placed at the bottom of the list and you need to scroll to the bottom to find it and it really becomes painful and time-consuming when you have a long list of bookmarks.

This is where this extension is helpful. If you click on its icon (orange star), you get a list of the latest bookmarks saved recently and the best thing is that all these are arranged in descending order. You also have the option to delete the individual bookmarks and moreover, you can also go to the Bookmark manager from the link given at the bottom of the list.
